    have you entered the o2 apn info? these would be different from the info you had when connected to vodafone oz.

    o2 internet and mms settings:

    Press the Menu key
    Tap Settings
    Tap Wireless controls
    Tap Mobile networks
    Tap Access Point Names
    Press the Menu key
    Tap New APN

    Disclaimer - Am not on O2 so forgive any stupid suggestions

    Does your sim have to be activated to use data? You could check by putting it in another phone?

    If this isn't the problem then it is most likely a problem with the APN. As I don't think this phone has been sold in Ireland, the firmware probably doesn't have O2 APN settings, and you would need to enter them manually
