Ireland didn't become a republic until 1922 - Before then it was just "Ireland."
I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,000,000 surviving rcds for abt 65% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800.
Note 1 - Without a KNOWN parish, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 35%.
Note 2 - Only 1/2 of Co. Cork's rcds are in this database.
Note 3 - The RC church kept control over most parish rcds from Tipperary (north). These are ONLY available thru the Tipperary Family History Research center at a substantial fee (regardless of outcome).
For Pat(rick) O'Donnell B 1833 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 186 B rcds, with 16 in 1833 exact. Your ancestors rcd MAY be one of these, but without a precise DOB, father's forename, mother's name, placename, etc., there is no way to verify which one.
Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added and browse. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
