FindmyPast (www.findmypast.co.uk) has added a new Irish collection, but has provided no information on where the records have been obtained from.
Ireland, Dublin Port Employment Records, 1862-1925
https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-records/ireland-dublin-port-employment-records-1862-1925
This new set consists of 1,636 employment records from the 19th and 20th centuries.
Comment: Dublin Port employment records from 1906-1925, as sourced from the Dublin Port Name Book, are available at https://www.dublinportarchive.com/searchable-archives/. It is unclear if this is the source for some of the records.
It is regrettable that FindmyPast portrays itself to be the bona fide source here, when it is simply a publisher of material derived from another archival source.
