The 192 website covers the UK and Northern Ireland. However you do hav to register for full details. These are probably on here too.

You don't say when, or which part of Ireland.
Assuming you mean historical records, not many seem to exist, in any case, as described below.

"In Ireland, during the 18th and 19th centuries a person holding property in fee simple (outright ownership) or by lease for one or more lives (the life of the lessee and other named persons) was entitled to vote and would therefore appear on freeholder lists. A lease, simply with a defined period did not confer voting rights to the leaseholder. Between 1727 and 1793 only Protestants with a freehold worth forty shillings per year were entitled to vote and from 1793 this qualification was extended to include Roman Catholics. However from 1829 the qualifying freehold worth was raised to ten pounds which substantially reduced the amount of voters.

Most of the Irish freeholders records were destroyed by the 1922 shelling of the Public Record Office located in the Four Courts building in Dublin, marking the beginning of the civil war. Northern Ireland freeholder lists are available at the PRONI collection of Freeholder Records extracted from pre-1840 electoral registers and poll books."

That page also gives a long list of websites and databases which might help you.

I think the ER’s for Dublin 1938-1964 may be on line.

This link is to a page where people in Eire can register to vote or check their own registration.

It sounds as if you might have to ask the relevant local authority for the place in which you're interested, for info re present-day electoral rolls.

"If you cannot find the answer to your question here, please contact your local authority. "
