Does an indian citizen working & resident in qatar, would a uk tourist visa permit/include a visit to ireland?

Question

I am an Indian citizen working & residing in Qatar, planning for a tour to UK in July - Aug 2008 with family (wife & one child both of Indian Citizenship & Qatari Resident). Would a UK Tourist VISA obtained in Qatar allow us to travel to Ireland for three to four days or do we have to apply for separate VISA to enter Ireland ? If separate VISA to Ireland is required, then how & where do we apply ?

Answer 3

You could visit Northern Ireland as it's part of the United Kingdom but for the Republic of Ireland, a separate country, check with the nearest Irish Embassy,

Apparently, the nearest Irish Embassy to Qatar is Riyadh, Saudi Arabia : )
