Move To Ireland website - Pet Quarantine (NB: This website mentions the option of a home quarantine for animals imported. However, please be aware of feedback that I've received: the Republic of Ireland's Department of Agriculture doesn't seem to recognise this as an option. If you are considering it, please contact the department directly yourself.)
