They did have some funny rule about not being able to fly at
night in controlled airspace - I didn't understand what it meant and just
flew day VFR.

That's because there is no such thing as VFR at night. At best it is special
VFR or IFR and unless you hold a JAR IR or are flying an N Reg with an FAA
IR then night flying is strictly forbidden.

Anyway, why would someone waste a night flying in Ireland when there is so
much hospitality to enjoy.
