The GRO(I) index thru 1958 (excl N. Ireland post-partition) is available at:
https://www.familysearch.org/s/collection/list#page=1®ion=EUROPE

One can purchase certs (or cheaper still, the uncertified images of the rego) via:
http://www.groireland.ie/

The Irish 1901/1911 censuses are free at:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
[Not heard of any release dates for next census (=1926 in both Irelands)]

Most City of Dublin parish registers are free online at:
http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/
[There are also Carlow, Cork & Kerry OPRs there too]

Whilst it is true you can't order marriage / death certs online before c 1920 you can still order by post/fax. Download the form and either post or fax it to them.

You will need a credit card (Mastercard or Visa) for payment to be taken in Euro's and converted to GBP by your card company, which is also what happens when you order on-line.
