    it doesnt really matter anymore....all the IEC visas for 2012 are gone.
    The program will start back up again at the end of the year and will probably have a whole different set of rules.

    I spent last year in Australia so could be disqualified if this is the case. Anyone got any solid info on this? Thanks.

    Edit: It says you need to be here for 3 years on the IEC site but I've heard 18 months quoted by a friend of a friend that was rejected this year during the application process.

    And just to clarify it was 18 months cumulatively. Not consecutively in the last 3 years. so if you were in oz for a year. And we're not residing outside of Ireland for 6 months or more anywhere else since 2009 you would have been fine.
