    It should be available from the National Archives.

    +1 From the Probate section of www.courts.ie .....

    The Probate Office holds the records for grants which have issued within the past 20 years. The records for grants which issued prior to this are held at the National Archives. These may be inspected in the Reading Room of the National Archives, Bishop Street, Dublin 8.

    You will be searching for the Grant of Probate which will include a copy of the will. Don't worry about when the will was made, the only thing that matters when looking up the grant of probate is the date your father died, it will be indexed based on that date.
