Interesting! These guys just recently started colonising Ireland (starting in Cork) and are currently usually found on/near coasts. Haven't heard of them in Kildare yet for example, but maybe that's about to change...

Can be found in Wicklow along the coastline, expecially the Breaches in Kilcoole/Newcastle, nearly guarenteed to see them there

They are fairly common on the Bull, usually at the back between the road and the dunes. Recently saw one on the way home from work on the river in Ringsend.
