What passport does she hold and where does she live at present? The second question is relevant because she will probably have to apply at her nearest Irish embassy.

hi Coylemj, thank you for quick reply, she leaves in Moldova, and she will have to apply for visa at the Irish embassy in Bucharest.....
just wondering if at all possible to get a visa based on an invitation from an Irish citizen to come for the christening.

Moldova is a 'Schedule 3' country under the Immigration Act 2004 so she will need a visa.

She can apply either via the Irish embassy in Bucharest or she can send it direct to the INIS agency in Dublin, web links below.
