Hi Obriencm,
I'm fit into this job position and interested to take this challenging position but I'm not sure if I need a visa for Ireland since I'm a Canadian Citizen.
Please let me know if you have any info. about visa requirements for Canadian Citizens.
Thank you, |

I would imagine Canadian citizens would need a work permit for any EU country - why wouldn't they?
You might get some sort of "Commonwealth" preference in the UK, but Ireland is not a member!
If you can claim UK nationality then that is more than enough to work in Ireland. |
