Thank you for using PetCoach. I don't know what dewormers you have available in Ireland and what types you can buy over the counter. All I can tell you is what we use here in the U.S. and you can try to find it there.
I would use Fenbendazole - it goes by many different brand names. You need to get the product and follow dosing instructions on the container. Dosage depends on the concentration and again, I don't know what concentration you have available there. Here is a link to what we use:

As always, it is best to consult with your local vet. They will know what worms are most prevalent in your area and what product you should use.
Hope this helps. Best wishes.
