Cheers SamT, duly passed on details.
My brother (and in turn I) have no idea whether he needs a representative in Eire at present. They were married over there, he moved over and after a year or so she turned round and said its over (no explanation at all, but this isn't the place for details). He's now moved back to the UK and is seeking divorce under UK law (marriages in Eire are legally recognised here, just as mine in Australia is), 'cause the backwards catholicism only made divorce legal in Eire in 1995 and you have to have been separated for four or five years (so far only 1.5 have elapsed).
