Hi Tony,
I don't know if it helps but if you go to the Irish Examiner link on
http://easylinks.yolasite.com/ there's a link to their death notices
which is very accessible but it may not list the details you need. I
know the Examiner focuses quite a bit on the south of the country so I'm
not sure if the details you need are there. rip.ie is a very good site
so it would be great to see if it could be tweaked so it's fully
accessible.
All the best,
Francis.
