all ready to run, can build a couple more types from kits and find second hand. http://studio-scale-models.com/ is a good site for kits of all sorts of irish rolling stock

mk2s, cravens, preserved cravens, ballast hoppers, cement bubbles, tara wagons all available too with 42fts and others on the way. There's a guy who custom makes DARTs,others do (poor) models of many more tyes of stock, google silver fox models

these are all running models though, i've not idea about simple display stuff
start here: http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/
Marks Models have a shop in Dublin CC and Cork (i think) as well as a webstore. ehattons.com has some irish stuff as well.
Plenty of bus models available too

models forum on boards: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=486 but it's full of nothing but stuff about drones recently for some reason.
