so, can someone w access to irish records do a search for me?

the irish american cultural center has a great library. i'm sure the answers to my questions are there somewhere. they do a pretty inexpensive consultation, and i emailed them yesterday about it. both my ancestry and myheritage accounts want money atm. i'm hoping someone here can find some facts for me.

so, i am trying to nail down if i am related to michael dwyer, the chief of wicklow.
my question is- my understanding is that most of the family left ireland after he was deported. he wanted to come here, but went to new south wales. i know there were sibs who went to oz.
i think my connection is to his brother peter. i think he had a son, john, who was my 3 or 4 times grandfather. their father was john, and there are johns all down the line in the dwyer branch.

so, my question is- did peter leave ireland? did he have a son or other sib who came to the us?
i believe micheal was exiled in 1803? he evaded arrest for 5 yrs after the 1798 uprising.
