I think you can get one if you have a valid full licence from the states.
It might save you from having to get a provisional.
As for LHD cars, I think the reason why you got no recommendations is that there very few in the country for obvious reasons. They are an absolute nightmare on Irish roads. You are driving blind most of the time if you are behind traffic on secondary roads.
Believe me I know, I imported a beautiful VW Karmann Ghia from the states around 20 years ago, it was LHD and it was a horrible experience to drive. Insurance was also higher.
Eventually I had to get it converted to RHD.
Maybe get a RHD automatic ?
