PS3 games from any country will work on your PS3 cuz they are region free (HAPPY DAYS!) *You'll need an electrical conversion kit (Stop your console from malfunctioning) *An adapter for yer plug because the number of pins on it is different. *The TV connection must be changed as well because PAL and NTSC TV connections are different so go to a electronics shop and see if they sell this for the PS3. That's all you really need to do. Be advised because your PS3 is from a different region it will not play PS2 games because they are region locked or if you have a 40GB system then it won't play any PS2 games. Hope that helps....

itll work with any ps3 games, but i think europe has different power chords so maybe a converter

Yes it will. iPhones are quad band.

Yes it will work alright as the previous answer has stated as it is a quad band phone. However a huge warning here - check with your current provider about roaming rates as they are normally VERY expensive. Things like checking email and surfing are classed as data and can cost a fortune when roaming in a different country. I work for a mobile company and have seen bills as high as £15,000 for a 2-week period. Hope this helps

Visa to work in Ireland from Argentina
Visa to work in Ireland from Argentina?
My girl friend is from Argentina she has been here in Ireland working under a working holiday visa but that expired. Can this be renewed or can she get a visa that will last longer for Ireland? Please help.

No, she cannot. She can get a visa that last longer only if she is highly qualified and has skills that are in short supply in Ireland, which is unlikely given the recession.
2 :
Your girlfriend needed to explore whether or not she could extend her visa before it expired not afterwards. Contact the Irish Naturalisation & Immigration Service for advice or find a solicitor specialising in immigration matters to get advice http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/WP07000003

Now that Ireland is wealthier than Britain, is it time the Brits lost their attitude
Now that Ireland is wealthier than Britain, is it time the Brits lost their attitude?
For many years there has been great anti-Irish prejudice in Britain. It was somewhat understandable when crowds of Irish people were emigrating to Britain for work. Ireland has had full employment for seven years now. We are one of the wealthiest nations in the world on a per capita basis (second only to Japan) according to The Economist. Yet many British still think Irish are freeloaders taking their jobs. Why? Proportionately more British are coming to Ireland looking for work. I have been assaulted in Britain on more than one occasion for being Irish.

How much the placement fee,to work in ireland
How much the placement fee,to work in ireland?
Other - Ireland - 4 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
no idea what you are talking about
2 :
If a company is offering to find you work in Ireland in return for a fee, forget it. It is a con. There is no work in Ireland, employers aren't allowed to take foreigners unless they can prove they can't find a suitable Irish or EU citizen to take the job. As Ireland has a very qualified, highly skilled workforce who have been forced into unemployment it isn't going to happen. We have teachers working as cleaners and accountants stacking supermarket shelves part time. A recent job opening in a nearby town for a part time petrol attendant got over 100 applications.
3 :
There are not the jobs in Ireland for the Irish, so there are no jobs for people from elsewhere.....no ide what you mean about placement fee...unless a company is asking for it to get you a job...if it is it is a con.......if you intend to move to Ireland and work and you are from an EU country then get your job before you move...if you are outside the EU then forget it.......
4 :
Agencies usually get their fee from the employer. If you are considering any offer to find you a job for a fee, forget it. It is a con. They only want your money. Jobs here are very scarce, and EU regulations mean employers consider Irish first and then EU citizens. Any other nationality doesn't have much of a chance. You'd also have to get a work permit, and I think that depends on a firm job offer first - and the other regulations make that unlikely.

I have a look at the phone in the link,it is a CDMA 800/1900Mhz and as far as i know,a provider under CDMA technology in Ireland run its network under the frequency 450Mhz.Guess it mean...OK !!

Yes it is possible for you to study in Ireland. Before you do anything else, firstly you need decide which course you wish to do and decide on a university that you want to attend. This could be based on the schools academic record, how much it would cost to study there and/or the location, maybe you have a specific city in Northern Ireland that you want to be in. Once you have decided on the above, you need to contact your chosen university and request that they send you all of the relevant paperwork for admission as an international student including details about the course which you intend to study. Then look at what the requirements are to be accepted and make sure you have everything in order before sending off your application of admission to the University. Once you hear back from the university via a letter of acceptance and an I-20 you can then begin to start your visa application. You will be applying for a student (INF 5) visa. To begin this process you just visit the website below, read the requirements and procedure process and make sure you have everything required before filling in your application. http://www.britainusa.com/visas/articles_show_nt1.asp?i=65009&L1=41000&a=41074 Good luck and enjoy yourself!

Actually, they may not in all places because Europe has a chip system that we do not have in the US. You need to call each card & talk to someone who knows about the European system. Also, they may be hefty fees for each transaction (to convert the exchange rate), so you need to ask what they are & how much.

Ireland doesn't make any provision for foreigners wanting to move there to mooch off the system though. You actually do need to have paid money into the system to be able to qualify for welfare. See link for more details.
I am not lazy, I am retired on a pension. I just wanted to know about the welfare system in Ireland. I was thinking about moving to Ireland. I read that you have alot of immigrants in Ireland, I wanted to know if they could become deadbeats. I am 60, I worked for ATT (30 years)

It depends on your Xbox live account. If your account is usa based, then the points will work. But if your account is not usa based, then they will not work. You need usa points for usa based accounts, canada points for canada based account, european points for europe based account, and so on. I am not sure about the classifications but the account type must be same of the point region. Otherwise, they won't work.
2 :
Yes, MS point are a universal currency on xbox live. However, you will not be able to d/l nearly as much content Ireland due to content restrictions.

as long as you plugged them to the right socket, given the right voltage of electricity, everything will work fine. just make sure that they can deliver to your country.

So long as you don't use 110V on your power supply, it's not an issue at all. Computers are of an international design. Whether or not tigerdirect will ship to you is another matter.

When looking at specifics on what processor, and graphics card you can use in your computer, there are many system support issues to look at. (Computer system. Will your motherboard support,(use), the processor and graphics card) The only issue that would have to be looked at, in using a computer from country to country,(i.e., America to Ireland), is the power supply. I believe Ireland uses 220 volts for their electricity in homes. America uses 110 volts. All a person has to do is to make sure the slide switch on the back of the power supply shows the voltage used in that particular country. If you are in Ireland, and Ireland uses 220 volts, make sure your power supply voltage switch on the back shows 220 volts. The power supply itself will change the 220 volts to the needed voltages for the motherboard of your computer. The motherboard will supply the correct voltages for the hardware components, placed on it. The voltage that comes into the power supply is AC,(Alternating Current). The voltage that comes out of the power supply has been converted to DC,(Direct Current). The voltages are always 3.3 volts, 5 volts, and 12 volts,(DC for all.) Some computers still use the 3.3 volts, some do not. As a general rule, the newer ones do not. So, to sum up. As long as the slide switch on the back of your power supply, is set to the correct voltage for your country,(And I'm sure it is), and your motherboard has support for the Pentium Dual Core, plus a PCI-Express x16 slot for the Nvidia GeForce 9600GT, and your power supply meets the minimum power requirements for the 9600GT graphics card,(The power requirements are stated on Tigerdirects page for the 9600GT. It's about two-thirds the way down the page), you're good to go! Edit: I looked. Tigerdirect ships to Ireland.
5 :
All of the computer parts will work in your computer. The power supply in your computer does the work of converting the voltages/wattage's etc into a standardized format for computer makers, so that the companies know for sure that they don't have to make special parts for one part of the world or another. It is exactly neither more or less complicated than that.

Hey, just an add on to what the others were saying. If i were you I would turn your attention to Australia or New Zealand. A few years ago they had a massive call to encourage overseas people to settle and work. This is not the same as a one year visa that a lot of people are on, but an opportunity to come and live permanently. I don't kow if it is still open, but at the time it was for police officers. You can also turn your attention to private security jobs if you wanted a change for a while, epecially if you can't get a job as a police officer. Or if you are willing to do any job then Oz and NZ are a great choice, Canada too. If you really are looking for a change in culture only then none of this options will fit the bill really. A lot fo similarites and not as different to the US as you might think. Best of luck, hope you find what you're looking for. If you can't get a visa sure come for a short trip. You'd be able to lots of research while you are hear and see what's available job wise.

I'm from the US and want to live/work in Ireland, any advice on where to begin?
I'm 23 and really want to go to Ireland to travel/live/work. What do I need to do? I have no idea how things work over there as far as housing/jobs, etc, especially since I'll be coming from the US. I don't have a set city/county I want to go to, I'd like to travel around all over eventually when I get there but as far as where to initially live and work I have no idea what's best. I'd prefer to be somewhere with more of the "traditional" Irish culture rather than a crazy New York City type atmosphere. I've also heard the wages are really low in Ireland so I don't know where that would put me either. I don't need to make crazy money, maybe just enough to live and go out now and then/travel. I don't have a ton of experience in any specific field, I like to try/learn/experience new things so I'm not too picky about jobs and am pretty open minded. Any help would be great, thanks! Also, I'm not a student so I don't qualify for any of the student programs.

Hi, well to start with you need your head examined! Irland,,, It's a whole lot different to the US, they talk funny, it's WET n Cold, they like to fight, They like to come to England to get away from it all. All that out of the way, You'll need to get in touch with the Irish embassy requesting a working visa, not sure which state in USA but there's one in Dublin Irland. ( www. xx?x?xx. gov.uk) not sure what. Have a CV ready made PLENTY copies as you need one for every job application, have a good idea of type of work you want, anything like US, you will be looking for a new job every couple of weeks, simply because your a foreigner! Unless your really drop lucky. My best advice save, take a vacation there first to look around then return with a more positive view of what you want from your final venture & move. Hope it helps! By the way the visa & or passport stamp for residence can cost as much as $600, as My wifes does...

You will have to get a work visa first. There are programs available through ISIC, or at least were back when I was your age (which I swear wasn't that long ago). If they don't offer them, they can point you in the right direction. Keep in mind, a work visa will require you to have a employer-sponsor, so you won't get to travel around to choose where you work so much. Another thing you can do is backpack around. I knew lots of people who would backpack to spots, volunteer to work for the hostel where they stayed for a while, and then would move on. It's a tough thing to count on, but it can and has most definitely been done. I lived in Ireland for several years in my twenties. I worked under the table as a waitress off and on throughout that time (I had a student visa, not a worker visa). I was an illegal alien!!! Yikes! But it was an easy gig to get, especially because I was a cute American girl who had waited tables before. Good luck, definitely give it a try, and have a pint for me!

Without a company to sponsor you or student status, not sure as an American you will be able to legally. How much is it worth to you? You could enroll in a few classes at a local community college (most are $50-$75 per credit hour) to get the necessary paperwork then get a visa through: http://www.bunac.org/usa/ireland Requirements are: letter with registrar's signature stating that you are taking at least 8 credits for the semester of eligibility. Here's the trick...enroll in classes and pay, get the proof of enrollment form from the registrar, then withdraw from classes and get a refund of tuition. Send the proof of enrollment form to Bunac to get your visa. Also apply for a visa to Britain to start upon the expiration of the Irish one. Make sure you get an ISIC card and check great flight deals thru STA travel. Ireland is the only country I ever had a hard time finding work in though. There seemed to be a real backlash against anyone who was not Irish working there, and since American visas are only for 4 months it can be hard to find someone who only wants you that long. Best bet is pub or restaurant work. For a small truly Irish town, try Cork. For a nice small town a bit more touristy, try Galway.

Hi assuming you are not a student and looking to come here you can follow a few routes - none of the especially easy though as the immigration process has become more focused on screening out non-EU immigrants (even short term ones) over the last 3 or 4 years 1. Work permit - you need to have a job already from an Irish employer who can demonstrate that they could not find the same skills in the EU (that's 460 million people by the way rising to 490 million in January when 2 new states join). This means advertising in newspapers, using state job search agencies etc. In practice it is only for very niche skills or very highly valuable skills - brain surgeons, nuclear physicists, tunnelling machine operators etc. Also you are tied to the sponsoring employer and cannot switch jobs. 2. Working visa - easier as you can switch employers and it's about demonstrating employability. However in practice you tend to require high skills (university degree preferably Masters or Doctorate and/or strong experience) and a job offer for when you land. 3. Student visa - you can come to Ireland to do a course, these tend to be third level college courses or english language skills, also some shorter high tech private courses. You need to be able to demonstrate that you can support yourself financially and be sponsored by the course provider. You can however work part time (up to 20 hrs per week I think) while studying. To be honest this is pretty heavily abused especially by the Asian community particularly those from China but a blind eye is turned as most people pay their fees money into the economy, help fill low skilled jobs part time for a year and then leave in an orderly fashion no harm done. 4. Ethnic cuisine - if you belong to an ethnic group especially Indian or Chinese you may be able to come in under the auspices of a restaurant needing ethnic staff. We like our food and as the country becomes more ethnically diverse the range gets better and better. These are the best routes, of course as a US citizen you could just come in on a tourist visa waiver and look for pub/restaurant or other casual work illegally but that is getting harder an dharder to find and the wages are less and less attractive as these roles are filled by legal migrants from the eastern EU states. Good english would give you and advantage but not that much. Penalties for employers of illegals are high and you might find you can't get into any European country in the future if you are caught . My advice would be aim at option 3, find a course (if you're aiming for the outside of Dublin more relaxed feel , try some of the regional Institutes of Technology, these are good, legitimate, state sponsored colleges), learn and work at the same time. Location wise I think you'd probably like Galway, nice small city and well positioned to visit the western seaboard as well as being able to catch a quick direct train to Dublin. Other good spots for the relaxed Ireland feel are Sligo, Limerick, Waterford or Cork.

I'm 23 and really want to go to Ireland to travel/live/work. What do I need to do? I have no idea how things work over there as far as housing/jobs, etc, especially since I'll be coming from the US. I don't have a set city/county I want to go to, I'd like to travel around all over eventually when I get there but as far as where to initially live and work I have no idea what's best. I'd prefer to be somewhere with more of the "traditional" Irish culture rather than a crazy New York City type atmosphere. I've also heard the wages are really low in Ireland so I don't know where that would put me either. I don't need to make crazy money, maybe just enough to live and go out now and then/travel. I don't have a ton of experience in any specific field, I like to try/learn/experience new things so I'm not too picky about jobs and am pretty open minded. Any help would be great, thanks! Also, I'm not a student so I don't qualify for any of the student programs.

Hi, well to start with you need your head examined! Irland,,, It's a whole lot different to the US, they talk funny, it's WET n Cold, they like to fight, They like to come to England to get away from it all. All that out of the way, You'll need to get in touch with the Irish embassy requesting a working visa, not sure which state in USA but there's one in Dublin Irland. ( www. xx?x?xx. gov.uk) not sure what. Have a CV ready made PLENTY copies as you need one for every job application, have a good idea of type of work you want, anything like US, you will be looking for a new job every couple of weeks, simply because your a foreigner! Unless your really drop lucky. My best advice save, take a vacation there first to look around then return with a more positive view of what you want from your final venture & move. Hope it helps! By the way the visa & or passport stamp for residence can cost as much as $600, as My wifes does...

You will have to get a work visa first. There are programs available through ISIC, or at least were back when I was your age (which I swear wasn't that long ago). If they don't offer them, they can point you in the right direction. Keep in mind, a work visa will require you to have a employer-sponsor, so you won't get to travel around to choose where you work so much. Another thing you can do is backpack around. I knew lots of people who would backpack to spots, volunteer to work for the hostel where they stayed for a while, and then would move on. It's a tough thing to count on, but it can and has most definitely been done. I lived in Ireland for several years in my twenties. I worked under the table as a waitress off and on throughout that time (I had a student visa, not a worker visa). I was an illegal alien!!! Yikes! But it was an easy gig to get, especially because I was a cute American girl who had waited tables before. Good luck, definitely give it a try, and have a pint for me!

Hello, I'm sorry if I'm disappointing. But I don't have an answer. I'm actually contacting you because I have the same question. I'm 25 and I also live in the U.S and want to move to Ireland. Could you let me know if you find anything out? jenny.halligan@gmail.com

I just gave Jenny H some advice!! Read what I wrote for her. The same would apply to you! Good luck!
5 :
Without a company to sponsor you or student status, not sure as an American you will be able to legally. How much is it worth to you? You could enroll in a few classes at a local community college (most are $50-$75 per credit hour) to get the necessary paperwork then get a visa through: http://www.bunac.org/usa/ireland Requirements are: letter with registrar's signature stating that you are taking at least 8 credits for the semester of eligibility. Here's the trick...enroll in classes and pay, get the proof of enrollment form from the registrar, then withdraw from classes and get a refund of tuition. Send the proof of enrollment form to Bunac to get your visa. Also apply for a visa to Britain to start upon the expiration of the Irish one. Make sure you get an ISIC card and check great flight deals thru STA travel. Ireland is the only country I ever had a hard time finding work in though. There seemed to be a real backlash against anyone who was not Irish working there, and since American visas are only for 4 months it can be hard to find someone who only wants you that long. Best bet is pub or restaurant work. For a small truly Irish town, try Cork. For a nice small town a bit more touristy, try Galway.

Why won't DVDs I bought in Northern Ireland work in the US
Why won't DVDs I bought in Northern Ireland work in the US?
I got three DVDs in Northern Ireland since they were such a good deal, and because one is not available for sale in the States. I tried to play them on my Sony DVD player that I bought here in the US, but it says "cannot read". Can I program my DVD player to read these, or is it a lost cause? I didn't realize the technology would be different. If there is no way to configure my DVD player (which is only a few months old!), I'm just going to sell them on amazonUK.

check your DVD player and see if it has a setting for region. If so set it to the region code on the back of the DVD. Should be good. If not you out of luck.
4 :
DVD players are configured to only read DVDs ased on the DVD's "region". Ireland and the U.S. are not in the same region, so you would have to reprogram your DVD to allow this. But if you did so, then your player couldn't read the rest of your DVDs. You have three choices: -Buy a second DVD player that's set up for the region containing Ireland. -Buy a "regionless" DVD.

Not only the region code, but Europe is PAL tv-signal and America is NTSC. Otherwise, there is software to change the country code and DVD players that don't care about the country code.

DVD's are programed w/ a certain # that goes w/ certain regions (like the US) and if your DVD player wont play it, its because it can only play US DVD's. there is a way to change it i think, but once you change it, its super hard to change it back or you only get so many times to change it until its not changeable anymore. you could either change it (its tricky), sell the DVD's, or buy a universal DVD player...

You go to primary school until you're 12 or 13, then you go to secondary school until you're about 18, some schools do five years for the basic curriculum, and others do 6, with a transition year. You do two State examinations while in secondary school, the first is the Junior Certificate (it used to be called the Intermediate Certificate, of 'the Inter') which you sit after 3 years; the second is your Leaving Certificate, which you sit in your last year at secondary school, and the results of which play a part in what type of third-level education you will follow. The Leaving results are counted in points, and the higher the points, the more difficult the course - medicine, for example, has extremely high points. For some courses you need to attend an interview and talk about your portfolio, say for an art degree. You start your application process through an organisation called the CAO long before you actually sit your Leaving Cert, usually the applications have to be in by the end of February or so of the same year, and then you have something to work for .... Then when you're in your course, it depends on the course. Art degrees do a foundation year, after which you go into the discipline that you are best suited to - and even then the boundaries between these are often blurred, as you can do modules for etching or ceramics while you're doing, say, painting. Basically, with most other courses you go straight into your degree course once you've ascertained that you are suitably qualified. So if you qualify for a science degree, you just go in and do the course for 3 or 4 years (depending on the university, and we do not refer to third-level educational institutions as 'schools' in Ireland) and after this you graduate with a BSc. From then on you can do some kind of post-grad degree if you wish. Nowadays all courses include a basic 'how to use a computer and the Internet section', as this might not have been taught in some secondary schools.

The Green Card actually is nothing more than a work visa for two years which requires sponsoring of an Irish employer who is living to instate you and apply for the two year valid Green Card (fee: €1,000).

If you're not an EU national, forget the whole idea. The economy here is not good at the moment, you'd have to apply for a job from your country of origin, and even with job offer in writing from Ireland, there's no guarantee that you'd get the necessary residency/work permit. Irish employers are obliged to employ locals first, then EU nationals if they can't find suitably qualified locals to do the job. Right now there are 40, 50 applicants for any one job. If you have a job where you are, stay there.

You may need a transformer to change the voltage, but you won't need to change the frequency of the electricity supply. Check the back of the coffee machine, some won't even require a voltage change as they're made to work in either one. I'd suggest though, that coffee machines are rather cheap (especially from Tesco or Argos), so it may be worth your while to just buy a new one instead of transporting one from the US and buying a transformer.

You may need a transformer to change the voltage, but you won't need to change the frequency of the electricity supply. Check the back of the coffee machine, some won't even require a voltage change as they're made to work in either one. I'd suggest though, that coffee machines are rather cheap (especially from Tesco or Argos), so it may be worth your while to just buy a new one instead of transporting one from the US and buying a transformer.

Yes, of course the adapter for the PS3 is ranged from 100 to 250 volatage. As long as the countries voltage is between these numbers, the system will work. Have Fun!

Yes, even if you buy games from there. I took mine to Mexico and worked just fine. Make sure just not to play it when there's missiles flying everywhere...lol ^_^

Can a pharmacist trained and registered in ireland work in the USA
Can a pharmacist trained and registered in ireland work in the USA?
Immigration - 4 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
as soon as he/she is registered in the State they wish to work in.
2 :
I can't imagine why they wouldn't be allowed to work here, I'm assuming the training and standards in Ireland would be comparable to those here.
3 :
You have to prove that the standards and training are the same in Ireland as in the US. In the US B. Pharm. is a 5-year university degree. For an immigration-class visa or a work permit, compare your syllabus with that of Schools of Pharmacy in the US. Then you have to take the state exams for licensing in the state in which you wish to practice. You must have a license to practice anywhere in the US. BEWARE: drugs in the UK, Europe, etc. have different names than the drugs in the US! You will have to know the US names and US pharmacopeia standards for US license exams. Also, most of the jobs for pharmacists in the US are with the chain pharmacies like Walgreens, WalMart, RiteAid, etc. This means shift work (open 24 hrs), and low pay.
4 :
If you graduated before January 2003, the minimum equivalent degree is a 4 year degree, and if you graduate after January 2003, you'll need a 5 year degree. If you meet those minimum requirements, than you'll have to apply to the state board of Pharmacy and NABP for the right to take FPGEE. You won't have to take TOEFL because English is your native language. FPGEE is offered twice a year in three locations in the U.S. After that, if you pass, than you'll do your internship for a set number of hours. After that, you'll take the NAPLEX and your state's law exam. If you pass, than you are a licensed pharmacist. Some states require citizenship or residency to be a pharmacist. This process normally takes several years.

How does Northern Ireland work
How does Northern Ireland work?
I read on Wikipedia that people born in Northern Ireland have both Irish Citizenship and UK Citizenship, but it is all owned by UK. Is that true? So if I was born in Northern Ireland I could just go to Ireland without a visa?
Other - Ireland - 4 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
MOST people born in Northern Ireland are entitled to dual citizenship. The exceptions are babies born to non-citizen immigrants from outside Ireland OR the UK. In practice, most people only get one passport by choice, although they do have an entitlement to both. To be fair, the dual citizenship doesn't have many benefits because Ireland & the UK have a "Common Travel Area", meaning I (as an Irish citizen- not a UK one) can move to and work in the UK, and be treated almost as a citizen of that country without even a passport - never mind a visa. British citizens in Ireland and Irish citizens in the UK aren't, and never have been, treated as foreigners. The only exception is they can't vote in referendums or get passports of the country they aren't citizens of. There are also the benefits of the "free movement" principles of the EU, but the Common Travel Area benefits are far more wide ranging (eg welfare benefits, voting in government elections, immunity from deportation (although not extradition) etc). It stems from the fact that in the original constitution of Ireland, Ireland claimed (in words) the sovereignty of the whole island. This was only relatively recently changed, and part of the agreement was that the "people of Northern Ireland" had the right to identify as Irish, British or both, and to have Irish, British or both passports.
2 :
Northern ireland is NOT owned by anybody else only the people who live there and the majority have voted to remain PART of the UK. And they can chose british,irish or both hence they live in ireland (NI)and are part of the uk. No visa is required.
3 :
You wouldn't need a visa anyway, because both countries are members of the EU. The passport/citizenship thing was an agreement between the Irish and British governments as part of sorting out the differences between the two main communities up there.
4 :
Its very simple. Everyone born there is naturally British. This is same throughout the world nationality by birth whether they like it or not. However under Good Friday Agreement they can apply for dual ctizenship as a few in the north still feel a little allegiance to the ROI .

What would be the best way for a former U.S. Marine to relocate, live and work in Ireland
What would be the best way for a former U.S. Marine to relocate, live and work in Ireland?
I have no "college experience", but lots of engineering experience. I can learn anything, but I would also take any job to start out. What would be the best path to plan for, time line about 1year to 1 1/2 years to work with before the move... Thanks.

1 :
If you where living up north as a former marine you might want to consider joining the PSNI (the police), but seriously work is hard to come by all over Ireland at the minute, hopefully in a year or two things will have improved. Engineering and Manufacturing are not what they used to be in Ireland.
2 :
The above answer has a point. You could join the police in N. Ireland as the IRA terrorist threat to the whole of Ireland increases again.
3 :
You'd need to get a college education first. But you could start applying for jobs from where you are in the US, and if you get a job offer in writing from an Irish company registered with the Irish tax authorities here, then you can apply for your residency/work permit, again from the US. I should warn you that the economic situation here in Ireland is as bad as everywhere else and that highly qualified Irish people and EU nationals are having a tough time getting work, and Irish employers are legally obliged to employ local nationals first - plus there isn't the expensive financial rigmarole of sorting out the bureaucratic red tape that they would have with employing you. Even if you do get the job offer in writing, there's no guarantee that the residency/work permit will be automatic. Another way of doing this would be to look among your parents and grandparents and see if any of them emigrated from what are now European Union countries - and please understand that 'Europe' and 'European Union' are not the same thing, as there are many countries in Europe that are NOT members of the European Union. However, if you have a parent or grandparent who emigrated from an EU country, you could look into getting a passport of that country, and as a national of an EU member state you would be entitled to live and work anywhere in the EU in theory - however, given the economic situation at the moment, in practice this might be a bit different.
4 :
I wonder why you would consider moving to Ireland of all places? The weather is dire more often than not, the cost of living is far more expensive than in the US and in 1-2 years time we may just about be clawing our way of out the recession, you know about the recession I think you have one in America too if I remember rightly? Best bet would be to try Australia I would think. There are nearly 450,000 people living in Ireland looking for a job and Irish/EU citizens are given preference when it comes to job appointments.
5 :
Try swimming here. If you're a former marine you should be up to it.
