I have visited Ireland and toured by bus not driven it. BUT if you plan to drive some of the roads are very narrow. Especially by the Ring of Kerry. With no shoulders or space to pull over. I have driven on the left when I was in Thailand for a year and again when I visited Fiji and rented a car. The hardest part is interpreting the traffic signs and relating them to the left driving. I found Left turns were a bit tricky as I tended to hug the left curb too much. But with a little time you will get quite use to it .
