    Irish & English doesn't affect it, once it has English on it.
    You don't need a international cert, just your Irish licence.

    Am i right in thinking that your Irish licence is acceptable for 1 year from date of entry, and after that you have to get a local licence?

    What state and what visa?
    Only have to swap if on permanent visa and usually within a few months

    Irish license is valid as long as you are in the country on anythign other than a PR visa.
