    "they say that in the uk the are required to do it but not yet in ireland."

    I take that to mean they're requesting you do it, not demanding it. So yeah, they can ASK you to hop on one foot, but its probably nothing they can enforce on you, unless im gravely mistaken.

    Tell them to come back to you when it is a legal requirement.

    It's already a requirement for companies that they not hire people who are not authorised to work in this country. They're breaking the law if they do. I'm not sure how else they could tell that you're authorised?
