Answer 1

I don't know about a year long work visa, but if you are a student you can come on a 4 month J-1 summer work and travel visa

Answer 2

I think it is very hard to get a work permit without having a job first, but you can come here with a student visa or tourist visa ( if you need to have a tourist visa to come to the usa) first, then, start to look for a job in here.  

When I lived in Boston, my Irish friend said there were a big population  of Irish living and working there without work permits.  One time, a young Irish guy came to where I worked to see if we had job availble for him, he said he came for a summer vacation.  

In Boston, there are a lot of Irish pubs that you maybe able to find a temp job there, then, you can start to look for a permenent job that is of your profession, your employer can file work permit for you, then, a green card, but I think you  better to have friends or relatives here to tell you the way how other Irish can work in here without a permit in the initial stage.

Some apartment would rent to you in your situation, and some wouldn't, but you can also try to rent a room from a family. Always, people like to rent to a woman than to a man.

Answer 3

Yes say:

"Kiss me I'm irish!" and you will have your US visa

Answer 4

From www.uscis.gov:

Temporary Workers

Overview

Employers who wish to hire foreign workers to temporarily perform services or labor or to receive training may file an I-129 petition. The I-129 is mainly used for non-immigrant categories; thus, in most cases, workers who enter the United States under this petition must depart the U.S. when their maximum period of stay has been reached.

So yes, you have to have a job in hand prior. You could try coming in on a student visa and then getting a job, but check uscis.gov on that.

Answer 5

You should contact the Irish Embassies and Consulates

Answer 6

Being that our government is ethnically cleansing our race (1) for no good reason, it'll probably be difficult because you're white.
