is this site down?
« on: Sunday 06 May 18 08:30 BST (UK) »
I cannot access this site & keep getting the following message.

https://www.irishgenealogy.ie

"You have been blocked because of a suspicious activity. We are aware of that."


Is anyone else getting the same problem?

Me too, same message. :(

Given it's Sunday, it may remain like that until tomorrow or later (May Day is public holiday).

Wonder if they are loading 1917 stuff....

"You have been blocked because of a suspicious activity. We are aware of that" would be a strange message to cover the uploading of new records.

It might well be fixed before Tuesday, it's a Government website, I don't know if the maintenance arrangements are in house, contracted out or a mixture, but with it being the May Day weekend, I'm not holding my breath.

I used the site earlier so just tried from my own link and it works.
Tried the link from willow and got the ‘suspicious’ message  ???

The link that willow posted is the Home page- I'm getting that message there also. However, going directly to Civil Records works-
