The Irish National Archive have an on-line database of people transported from
Ireland. The database can be searched for listings of specific crimes. The URL
is:
http://147.252.133.152/nat-arch

It's fairly slow I'm afraid (even for users in Northern Ireland).
There's also a research project underway analysing transportation records
based here at Queen's and at Down County Museum in Downpatrick. If anyone's
interested I could supply more information.
