What are the qualifications to vote in Ireland?
You must be at least 18 years of age on 15 February, the day the Register comes into force. You must also have been ordinarily resident in the State on 1 September in the year before the Register comes into force. A resident may be a limited on the types of elections in which they can vote. The registration authority will need to know your citizenship because this will determine the elections at which you may vote.
The right to vote is as follows:
Irish citizens may vote at every election and referendum;
British citizens may vote at Dáil elections, European elections and local elections;
Other European Union (EU) citizens may vote at European and local elections*
Non-EU citizens may vote at local elections only.
*If you are an EU citizen, other than an Irish or British citizen, and you were not registered to vote in previous European elections in Ireland, you must also complete a declaration form, to guard against double voting in the election.
You must be registered at one address only and you must live at that address on 1 September before the register comes into force. If you live away from the address at which you are registered, (for example, if you are a student living away from home), you will need to contact the registration authority and give them your new address.
If you leave your address but you plan to return there within 18 months, you can continue to be registered there, as long you do not register at any other address.
If you are an Irish citizen living abroad you cannot be entered on the register of electors. This means that you cannot vote in an election or referendum in Ireland. (The only exception to this is in the case of Irish officials on duty abroad (and their spouses) who may register on the postal voters list).

What do Greek men find attractive about Irish women?
Well......I do have one theory. My grandfather being 100 percent Greek married a 100 percent Irish woman. My father (his son) being half Greek and half Irish but still having the dark features of his father also followed in his father's footsteps and married a light haired light eyed Irish woman producing me a light haired light eyed 75 percent Irish 25 percent Greek. Now I am guessing that our instinct to get fresh new genetics may have one thing to do with it seeing as how I am attracted more to mediterranean women with darker features. This is what I think causes that initial attraction, the opposite features attracting one another.

Do you need to put your age on your CV in Ireland?
You should not put your age on a CV. You should put your date of birth. So if your CV is looked at in a few years time in a place you had sent it to now, they could still know your correct age. If you had your age on it, and it was picked out in a few years time, your age will have changed, but it won't have on the CV. So in Ireland, and in any country, put your date of birth on your CV, not your age.
Also make sure to write the month in words, not as a number, so there is no confusion between a date being in an American and European format, where the day and month are reversed.
