Also, if I get the iPhone 3Gs unlocked and then use my Irish Vodafone sim in it will I be able to update it on iTunes or get the iPhone update without it being reset to the original UK Vodafone simlock?

Yes, it will. but you will have to unlock your iPhone for that. In-fact, after unlocking, you can use your iPhone with any SIM around the world Hope this helps :)

Hi, If the iphone is locked to vodafone UK, it will not work with a vodafone IE chip if you get the unlock code from vodafone uk, then you will have a sim unlocked phone and be safe from whatever IOS updates apple create. if you go down the various 3rd party unlock routes, there is a chance that an IOS update would overwrite what had been done to unlock the phone - however you should still be able to run itunes against it for syncing existing music and apps
