For someone working in NY for the past 8 years with a decent lump sum (approx. $100,000) and the ability to save approx $2,000 per month- does it make any sense to place savings in Ireland?

Have heard that it is possible to save in Ireland with monies remaining in dollars? Told that this would be exempt from DIRT? Eagle Star offer an international investment fund ran through the IFSC which advertises this- has anyone any experience of this?
