We are all still guessing here so your best bet is to walk into you local police station and ask. Or seek advice from a solicitor, if this is too much trouble then go to the public library and look in the law books for Ireland there. The Internet is full of bulls**t opinions and even a google search does not reveal much. The layman on the street and or behind his keyboard/mouse and screen, unless he or she is legally trained, will be as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike in trying to find the correct answer for you.....
