We are going in circles here.
Night Flight in Ireland can be under VFR or IFR
Night VFR however is only available in Control Zones and subject to weather minima. It can be performed without any kind of instrument qualification, because the JAA PPL allows flight at night.
Once outside a control zone at Night, all flight must be under IFR. To fly IFR in Ireland (day or night, rain or shine) requires an instrument rating.
Therefore...... Yes you can fly at night in Ireland without an Instrument rating (in a CTZ)..... No its not very useful for cross-country flying because you will need to leave the control zone at some point to get to your destination.
Ask the wrong question and you will get a misleading answer Scopeland...
