Where to find birth records for those born in Ireland pre-Independence?

A lot of the records were lost when the Dublin Public Record Office was blown up in 1922.

The records are held at the General Register Office (GRO) in Dublin. They (currently) have free searchable indexes for birth records dating to 1864 to 1915 online.
The searchable indexes currently (August 2017) include:
- Births: 1864 to 1915
- non-Roman Catholic Marriages : 1845 to 1940
- Roman Catholic Marriages: 1864 to 1940
- Deaths: 1864 to 1965
For more recent records, they have a search facility in Dublin at:
General Register Office Werburgh Street, Dublin 2, D08 E277
Searchable indexes are also available on Ancestry.com. These require a subscription, and I am not sure how good their coverage is.

The Dublin Public Record Office wouldn't have held birth certificates for people born in Tuam, if anywhere for that matter. There would probably be a paper record held in the parish church (cathedral in Tuam). I grew up a few miles from Tuam but I doubt if they've anything digitised.

I'm trying to trace the birth certificate and I'm wondering about open questions such as: was she 'British' or 'Irish' or did she start 'British' and become 'Irish' automatically as a child?
Remember that people can be both 'British' and 'Irish'.
