I'd be interested to hear more about that project. Is there a web page
or description for it?

This seems to be somewhat the wrong forum for it as this list is
mostly concerned with legal issues of the (L)GPL. 

Someone on this list *might* happen to know some of the answers you
seek, but I wouldn't expect this. Also to know whether they do, they
would know what the specific questions are.

In general I'm assuming that Ireland will recognize copyright and that
the GPL should work there. But since many countries have pretty
specific differences between their laws, you'd probably need an expert
on Irish copyright law to answer your specific questions.

 n> p.s Is there any fsf Europe branches in IRELAND?

Not yet, although we definitely want to have one eventually. If we had
done so already we would have information about charitable
organizations in Ireland that we could give you. But as it is, we need
to gather that information ourselves, so if you happen to find it
somewhere else, we'd appreciate you sharing it with us.

Regards,
                Georg
