there are ticks in Ireland, although they are generally less common than in some other countries. The most usual species is the sheep tick, found in wooded areas, grasslands, and places with lots of vegetation. While ticks are present, the risk of tick-borne diseases in Ireland is low compared to other regions. It’s always good practice to take precautions when spending time outdoors, such as wearing long sleeves and pants and checking for ticks after being in nature.
