What is the legal garden fence height in Ireland for front and back gardens?

In Ireland, standard back garden boundary fences can generally be installed up to 2.0 metres high without planning permission. Front garden boundary fences adjacent to roads are typically limited to 1.2 metres in height.

Which is better for Irish gardens: timber or composite fencing?

Timber fencing offers a warm, natural look at a lower initial cost. Composite fencing is 100% waterproof, rot-proof, and requires zero painting or staining during Irish wet winters.
