Nicole Junior Member Member # 2080	Posted February 15, 2002 06:01 PM Hi there. I am an American citizen looking to move to Ireland and work there. I am assuming that great-grandparents are not considered when determining if someone can live and work in Ireland. Does anyone know how to obtain a work permit/visa if I wish to work in the marketing field?
