Well. Im living in London buying a car next week and want to bring it home to Ireland and park it up there till I come home next year. I'll tax and insure it here in london to prove its registered here for at least 6 months? Will i get away with having it in Ireland? Thanks

You need to own it and use it in the UK for 6 months before returning. You might get away with parking it in Ireland somewhere that it might not be seen. In the past, on reregging I know people who were asked for additional proofs such as parking tickets, council parking permits, congestion charge exemptions certs etc. that was before NCTS took over the inspection duties and I have no idea if any of this is still sought.

Ultimately you're trying to pull a swift one, only you can decide if it's worth the risk.
