If you are from Canada and have any skills in the hi-tech industry, it is extremely easy to score a gig in Ireland. I applied to a company online via an Irish job site, got the job, and then the paperwork begin. It took the Irish embassy about 5 days to return my signed passport back to me (from Vancouver to Ottawa and back) and the rest was easy.
The only thing you really have to be careful about is the red tape once you GET into the country. My experience was a nightmare, but now that it is said and done, it's been a blast.
One thing to note - the Irish sure can't drink worth beans! I have been having to show these Irish how REAL beer drinkers (We Canadians) can drink. Bring on the beer!

Oh yah. And the work ain't too bad, either.
