    All of the Irish networks websites will tell you the rates charged by their partner networks in any specific country, their websites typically have a link for 'Roaming' where you can check. You can then decide if it's worth manually setting the network when you get there so that you roam on the network with the lowest charges for your planed usage.

    I would imagine Vodafone Ireland would be the best one to roam with as you can use Vodafone Passport to roam in Australia and you can roam on whatever network you want then. This means you could roam on Optus/Telstra/Vodafone AU, and receive a call for 79c for the duration of the call. 3 Like Home is no longer available for Australia and Meteor &02 are substantially more expensive to use out there.
