    There's already a few threads like this. But the iPad should work fine as long as its a Wifi only version. If you get the Wifi+4G model you could have compatibility issues. Not too sure. Also I've seen people saying there can be problems with repairs and others saying you can get it repaired in Ireland. Not too sure tbh. Shouldn't be any major problems though.

    I don't know about the 4g issues but I wud think it should be fine! It's the same internals at the end of the day! Apple will honour your warranty here the same as in US, as long as you bring it to apple!

    But AFAIK the US LTE doesn't use the same bands as in Ireland. This wouldn't of been any problem before but hopefully by the end of this year all the major phone companies should have LTE rolled out to customers. So this would definitely be as downfall. The OP is probably looking into the Wifi only model anyway which makes my point mute. But just thought i'd mention it anyway.
