You need a reason to own/use a gun, it’s not a right. So why do you need a gun is the first question. If it’s target go to a Dublin target gun club, they’ll put you right. If it’s rough shoot or wildfowling then go see a local gun club, they’ll put you right. With an 8 x 10 I’m thinking you don’t have a vermin problem but if you want to shoot vermin then you’ll need farmer/land permissions which entails foot slogging till you find someone that will allow you to shoot. Up around here ‘new shooters’ aren’t readily accepted without some proven background. Look on irishshooter.ie or boards.i
