I presume you mean the Civil Registration Indexes 1845-1958 that are on FamilySearch. These are just indexes (and for Northern Ireland stop at the end of 1921), which are certainly very useful, but what’s being proposed here is the digitisation of the actual records themselves.

Best wishes

Alan

The images are not available, but the transcriptions are available for free, and have been for several months now. I was one of the thousands of volunteers who created an index for them to made available online. The LDS church microfilmed these years ago in Ireland, and have now made them available (with permission) to the public. To access them, go to http://www.familysearch.org, and on the home page go down to “Record Collections”. Choose United Kingdom & Ireland, and then go have fun looking for ancestors.
