Thank you for using PetCoach. I don't know what dewormers you have available in Ireland and what types you can buy over the counter. All I can tell you is what we use here in the U.S. and you can try to find it there. I would use Fenbendazole - it goes by many different brand names. You need to get the product and follow dosing instructions on the container. Dosage depends on the concentration and again, I don't know what concentration you have available there. Here is a link to what we use: https://www.jefferspet.com/products/safeguard-dewormer-goats-125ml As always, it is best to consult with your local vet. They will know what worms are most prevalent in your area and what product you should use. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
