Index to Irish Wills 1484-1858: Where to find the wills?

[Wexflyer]

I suppose my question is maybe more about how to search for material held by the National Archives.  I’m familiar with the PRONI ecatalogue where you can access and search a list of everything they’ve catalogued, but the NAI catalogue here seems more limited:

It does say that not all of the older records are on the catalogue, so that could explain why I can’t find any evidence of the wills I’m looking for.  So basically the answer is that I need to be there in person to search through their hard copy indexes?

You answer your own questions, but keep on asking.

including
Commissioners for Inland Revenue
The Inland Revenue Office in London received copies of Irish wills proved in the Prerogative Court of Armagh and all Irish diocesan courts for the time period 1828 1879. From these, there were abstract books and indexes for both the wills and administrations created. The will indexes survive for the time period 1828 1879. The administration index for the years 1828 1829; 1832 1850; 1852 1879. The will abstracts survive for the time period 1828 1839 and the administration abstracts for the time period 1828 1839. The abstracts for the time period 1840 1879 are missing.....
