    No banks 'offer' Paypal.

    Paypal is a seperate company with whom you set up an account.

    You set up a Paypal account at http://www.paypal.com/

    You can transfer money into it via credit card or by receiving money from other paypal users (or via domestic US transfer).

    so you need to have a credit card to use it then, I though it was a replacement for a credit card but if not I might as well get a credit card instead of it

    You can transfer money into your Irish bank account from your Paypal account; not sure if this is any use to you.

    It's a method of payment generally used in conjunction with a credit card to facilitate quicker checkout times and greater security as the seller does not get access to your credit card details.

    Have a look at http://www.wirecard.com/wirecard for an online pre-pay credit card

    It can also be funded from a bank account via bank transfer:
    (a screenshot of mine for example)
