gunit,
Dear me, have to say that's an awful admission to make as a would-be FO!!
Suggest you wade through some earlier posts on this thread to find the answers - they are there if you look hard enough. I like to think I'm pretty PC-savvy, but I resorted to the old-fashioned way - printing the pdf off, writing (yes, using a pen!) and mailing it to EI at Dublin Airport. This is an option if you look at the application instructions on the EI website and IMHO is very possibly less likely to be 'deleted' than an email app.
Still not heard anything though, but not sure I'm too bothered given that the country's well and truly in the poo at the mo. There could be a lot better places to get a job than Ireland right now......)
