Claire Santry points out that while five of the seven are already online on the National Archives of Ireland's free Genealogy website or other commercial databases, two are new.
Ireland, Court of Chancery Records, 1633-1851 (841,316)
"As one of the four older 'Superior' courts in Ireland, the Courts of Chancery were at the very centre of Ireland's legal system. Surviving records consist mainly of bill books with some other records including an Index to Pleadings and records of Pleadings themselves."
Ireland, Exchequer Court of Equity Bill Books, 1674-1850 (688,470)
"The Exchequer Court of Equity was at the very centre of Ireland's legal system and from the mid-17th century held jurisdiction over financial disputes such as titles of land, debts and wills. Surviving records consist mainly of bill books which detail case participants and proceedings."
Both are name indexed with links to images of the originals which are a challenge to read.
