I pride myself on my Irish heritage, thank you...(Mary Margaret Ward, at your service )

Just out of curiousity, can we Yanks work in Ireland? I know I can stay for a while, but can I legally work? Or do I have to get a permit of some kind? (I do need to support myself, and I want to soak in my ancestral home on my father's side of the family. ) Maybe I'll visit Belfast too!
Unico gives good advice...plus say if anyone wanted to work in Northern Ireland they would have to go through a UK embassy...which might be easier though

What is funny though is that my surname is also Ward....so maybe in some completely obscure way we could be quite related
