Irish surnames and dsitribution

Affable · 2009-07-25 11:22:55

Is there any place where I can get extensive info on them or their distribution? I know the Americans have a search for surname distribution, wondered if the Irish had one too. It's an ancestry query.Are there also emigration records? Thanks.
