Found this, the books are £10:50 but well worth it if your researing one of the names towns, I got the one for Kinsale and it does have all the information mentioned on the website (the 1901 &1911 census only have the names of the all family members but gives a good place to start). So I give it a thumbs up.

To find townlands and parishes in Ireland:
http://www.thecore.com/seanruad
(at the moment the exact match search doesn't always work so you can use one of the other search options instead)

Griffith's Valuation (search by name or place, scanned images of the actual printed version of Griffith's, many places have maps):
http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/gv_family_search_form.php

1910 Ulster directory:
www.libraryireland.com/UlsterDirectory1910/Contents.php

Irish Genealogy website. Derry Genealogy Centre is now closed (with no date set to reopen) but this site is a good (although not complete) index for Co. Derry records but there are some serious errors here like Agherton burials being listed twice- under Agherton and Aghadowey.
www.irishgenealogy.ie/frame_1024.cfm

Belfast Gazette (started after formation of Northern Ireland). Fantastic for listing of charitable bequests from Wills, bankruptcies, etc.

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
