What exactly do you want? Do you want a EUR account elsewhere? Do you want an account with a non-Irish bank? Do you want an offshore account?

That's a very broad question. So you want a bank account based in Ireland?

Broadly speaking, the 3/4 domestic Irish banks that are all dependent on the state, the ECB and the CBI for ongoing emergency liquidity and capital support are generally seen as less safe options that foreign regulated banks based here.
