I'd imagine the info provided on Courts.ie is accurate.

Yeah. You need to do whatever you need to do to effect a name change according to the laws and customs of the place where you live.

If you want to change your name by deed poll in Ireland you need to be living in Ireland.

Yes it is where you are resident.
I changed by Deed Poll in the UK when I lived there but when I was in Scotland I was told I could change there simply by Declaration. As in " I wish to be called Mickey Mouse and thereafter will be called Mickey Mouse... ' as I was informed by a digruntled solicitor there...
