Thanks. That's the info I found online, but Apple technical chat told me it would work. Sadly, I think the Apple chat person is giving out the wrong information.
Just found this link that confirms your info, fieryjack.

A cellular watch bought in the US will only function in North America,Canada,Mexico and Puerto Rico anywhere else it will function as a GPS only watch.
Does Ireland have cellular provider that supports the Apple Watch?

Does not list Ireland
Oh, interesting. Looks like the apple.ie site only sells the GPS version. So, maybe it doesn't matter if I purchase it in the US or in Ireland since either way it'll be GPS only, right?
Except for Warranty, a GPS only Apple Watch will work anywhere your iPhone works, which is pretty much anywhere you can get cellular service for your iPhone.
