I'm not too sure but it would certainly help if you were a skilled worker. See the thing is job prospects right now are very low and it would be considerably harder for a non EU citizen to get work, unless you've a rare qualification. I've googled for a link but they don't look that helpful, but somebody here will probably get you one

First thing you need to do is either secure a visa to live & work in the Republic of Ireland or if you have a parent (in Ireland's case a grandparent will do as well) who was a citizen of an EU member state you could try to secure citizenship/passport of that country - citizens of most EU member states can move freely within the EU & settle where they wish but there are restrictions on the movement of some country's citizens such as Bulgaria & Romania, it varies from country to country. These links will have information on moving to Ireland: http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/moving-country/moving-to-ireland Working in Ireland http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/moving-country/moving-to-ireland/working-in-ireland contact information for the Irish Embassy in the US http://www.embassyofireland.org/home/index.aspx?id=30782

Sure you can live here - but forget about getting employment for a while. At the moment, jobs are disappearing fast. You would not get your residency/work permit right now unless you have a very rare skill that's in high demand. I suggest googling 'working in the EU' to find out what you need to do, generally Americans have to get the job offer first, then they can apply for a residency/work permit - no job offer, no permit.
