I disagree with @SJ in part, that while its true currently, you only get one shot at induction and full QTS, you can stay an NQT in IE for a long career without detritus effect.
@redandwhitead
I hope you have another option pathway that youve considered. KS2 isnt a high demand area, youre not going to just roll back to England and have HOSs eager and salivating to hire an unqualified ET for a primary classroom.

Ireland is part of the UK, at least Norther Ireland is, had I meant the republic of Ireland I would have stated that.
They dont really have different curriculums. There is substantial congruence between the curriculums with some minor differences and what differences there are, are less content and more scope and sequence. Its not very relevant in this context however if you have full registration by any of the GTCs you will qualify for QTS, whereas the reverse isnt reciprocal. Youre more likely to end up with partial registration then be denied QTS.

The regulations dont actually require two years experience, it would just be difficult to have a minimal amount of experience in two settings in less than two years. A provider may also consider education experience at EC or further education which could include environments such as ESOL, its the age groups that matter and the amount of contact time. Thats not really an issue in this situation though the LW has plenty of experience with appropriate age groups.
The electrician who completes the city and guilds course, absolutely. It wont void the property insurance.
Those may be true but even assuming your claim is true, looking good on paper is marketable.
@Piggledish
The program might do those things, it might also be an immensely boring dwaddle that generates little learning. A lot depends on the program and even to a degree on the instructors.
@geoguy
Not really not in IE. In many ISs that are attached to a regional or local Uni, being on faculty at the Uni doesnt get you a tuition/place waiver/seat for dependents in the IS, especially for non-tenured foreign faculty.
