In Northern Ireland it was unemployed people under ACE scheme that put church records into computer system at Derry Genealogy Centre (now closed with no date given for re-opening). You can still search their index at http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/frame_1024.cfm but there are lots of mistakes in spelling with many entries duplicated strangely!
I have one of the duplicated entries on the index of the Derry site above. (purchased some time ago, long before they ceased trading). Now, I only sent for one of the records, but Brian Mitchell sent me the details from the Civil registration record and ALSO the Catholic Parish entry. I wonder if this would explain the duplication in the index? i.e. one entry in index is Civil and the other Parish. Can't say for sure, but it looks likely.
