Handicapped Parking
A handicapped parking disk/sign that has the internationally recognized wheelchair symbol on it will be honored in Ireland. It should be displayed on the dashboard of your car when parking in handicapped spaces. In some car parks, payment concessions are given to vehicles displaying the disabled person's parking sign. Drivers should check the car park notices or ask an attendant for details.

Unless something changed very recently:
All nations that belong to the European Conference of Ministers of Transport recognize each other's handicap placards (as long as they are the ones with the wheelchair logo)--I think just about every European nation is a member, including Ireland.
They also recognize placards from nations that are associate members--the USA, Canada, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Mexico, and New Zealand were the associate members last time I checked.
Of course, the actual rules for where anyone with a handicapped placard can park, for how long, and whether or not you have to pay vary from country to country. And in some countries they vary from locality to locality.
