LTE bands - foreign phone in Ireland?

    Would a phone with these network specs work in Ireland? (on Virgin movie currently)

    networks

    4G LTE (Cat 7)
    UMTS/HSPA+
    GSM/EDGE

    bands

    GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
    UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)
    4G LTE (B1, 3, 5, 8, 28, 40)†

    I've read elsewhere that we need LTE band 20 in Ireland but that was from a few years ago. Is that till the case? What would be the likely issues, if any, of owning a phone with those network specs?

    Thanks for any help!

    The 4g bands in ireland are LTE 800, LTE 900, LTE 1800. So you'd be missing band 20. You'd get coverage in urban areas but not in certain rural areas.
    What's the phone?
