Buying sim free from UK works here ?

Probably a stupid question, but my daughter is looking for the Huawei P9 lite in rose gold & its not available here. I can get one PAYG sim free from carphone warehouse in the uk, but need to make sure it will work ok here.

Once its sim free / unlocked then yes you can put an Irish sim in and work away as normal.

You can look across the EU not just the UK, amazon.de for example.

I've had two of these Phones , they have a plastic chassis, and will bend easily and quick.

Pay the extra and get a P9. Or a Samsung.

Think about the Huawei Honor 6X as well - about £10 more on Amazon UK.
