Anxiety/OCD & Initial Class 1 Medical

Hi folks. I live in Ireland and intend to go for my Class 1 medical in the very near future. I'm a little worried however as I have suffered from contamination OCD in the past & I'm wondering if this will count against me. I think we all have a little bit of anxiety to a certain extent, but mine was overly elevated. I've managed to get it down to a more normal level now with the help of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Does anyone know - if I fail the medical in Ireland, is there an appeals process similar to the UK's (which looks pretty thorough)?

Also, if I do fail in Ireland, is it possible to get another Class 1 medical examination done in another EU state?

Many thanks for any advice everyone.
