Personal comments
Irish students are very dirty, they are drunk almost evey night and they aren't happy to live with foreign students. They don't talk to you...this happened to most of the erasmus students who live with Irish. Try to avoid to rent a room in a house with other irish students.

Overall
I wish I had known...
It's not true that in the houses and classes the heating is too high. I would have brought wormer clothes.
