    With all the pomp and ceremony Irelands Memorial Records has been launched by our gallant leaders, with Google and In Flanders Fields Museum.

    http://imr.inflandersfields.be/search.html

    A quick search for;
    Tipperary casualties gives 951, actual (at the moment) stands at 1487.
    Carlow casualties gives 319, actual (at the moment) stands at 561.
    Clare casualties gives 416, actual (at the moment) stands at 667.
    Cork casualties gives 2204, actual (at the moment) stands at 4249.
    Kilkenny casualties gives 464, actual (at the moment) stands at 785.
    King's County (Offaly) Is not in it yet for some reason but stands at 650.
    Queen's County (Laois) Is not in it yet for some reason but stands at 565.
    Limerick casualties gives 810, actual (at the moment) stands at 1288..
    Longford casualties gives 206, actual (at the moment) stands at 321.
    Roscommon casualties gives 318, actual (at the moment) stands at 518.
    Waterford casualties gives 630, actual (at the moment) stands at 1134.
    Westmeath casualties gives 346, actual (at the moment) stands at 725.
    Wexford casualties gives 510, actual (at the moment) stands at 877.
    Wicklow casualties gives 407, actual (at the moment) stands at 748.
    Dublin casualties 8050 (but this included every soldier casualty of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers) gives 8050. Dublin currently being compiled stands at the moment at 8010.

    Irelands Memorial; Records was a flawed, inaccurate, database and by the looks of it, contrary to their claims, has not been corrected nor has it been updated.
    Regards.
    Tom.

    Tom, you have done more tham anybody to record Irish casualties of the Great War, others have also recorded the fallen, but I feel the true total will not be arrived at for some time.
