I've only been to Ireland once and that was a work trip but remember it being very green!
I did a bit of travelling in 2015 round there but only a couple of weeks, this should give me a bit more of an immersive experience! Yes I think there's a short work visa and various other things you can get to work longer out there but we will see how I get on!
Got the files and thanks for sending them over, I'll keep in contact with you on there!
