The Bachmann "Irish" set is to OO rather than HO scale - same track gauge but slightly larger scale. There are a few manufacturers making modern Irish equipment in OO scale, though these are "craftsman" type kits which need some modelling skills to build - not recommended for absolute beginners. Lima have made Irish diesels and matching cars RTR - www.ehattons.com still had stock when I last checked. Bear in mind that Irish railways are built to a wider gauge than standard - standard gauge being 4ft 8 1/2in, Irish lines are laid to 5ft or so. Some modellers hand-lay their track to the correct gauge, though you may find the compromise of using HO/OO track acceptable due to the ease of use.
