If you are a member of the EU, then you can get a job here no problem. But if you are from outside Europe then i think you will have to apply for irish citizenship to get a work permit. Ask your local embassy

If your not an Irish or EU citizen then you need either a work permit or a green card

If you are a citizen of an EU country, you are entitled to live and work anywhere in the EU. Poland is an EU country now, as are many other places in Eastern Europe.

I myself am an Irish citizen, but have lived and worked in Germany and the Netherlands. There is a process involved which requires that you register with the state authorities of the host country and provide a birth cert and proof that you can support yourself while living there, but while this is being processed you are free to work, even before you officially have your residency permit. You don't require a work permit to work in another EU country if you are an EU citizen.

If one is granted Irish citizenship by virtue of the fact that a grandparent was born in Ireland, it is not 'honorary' citizenship, it is Citizenship. If one then becomes a resident of Ireland then they could vote. Just like born Irish citizens who no longer reside in Ireland cannot vote, unless they of course return to reside in Ireland.

If you are already living in Ireland and are there legally then you could apply for a work permit. However, if you are there illegally then you would have to rectify that first.

Im not really too sure, i know a lot of Polish people arent Irish citizens, they get work permits and work here a while and go home? Go you your local Irish Embassy and find out, if you can find one that is.

If you can prove that one of your grandparents was Irish, you are eligible for honorary Irish citizenship. Except for voting, it gives you the EU rights of ordinary citizens.

My sister obtained her honorary citizenship years ago. When she travels to Ireland, she can use EU transportation at the citizens' rates and gains entry to University programs open only to citizens.

Check this out as well as contacting the Irish embassy closest to you.
