I just noticed that I never answered this. Sorry for the oversight.
Yes, the two big sites will cover the vast majority of what's out there, but each individual estate agent generally has their own website as well. Most are affiliated with larger organisations, but there are no unified listings per se.
Check out www.myhome.ie and www.daft.ie and then www.sherryfitz.ie and www.dng.ie and www.lisney.com to hit all the largest property sites. There will be some overlap because agents also put many of their properties onto myhome.ie and daft.ie to get a bigger audience.
The key thing to remember, though, is that property price drops are still accelerating downward. You don't want to buy!!!! At least until you're familiar with an area, love it, are willing to stay put for years and years until, in a decade or so they're now saying, the market turns.
Until then, find a rental you like, live and explore get to know what's on offer, and then reach deep into your wallet.
The only mortgages available now are variable rate and the banks keep jumping these and jumping them again no matter what the interest rates are doing on the european level. Invest now and you're basically signing up to support your local Irish bank and paying exorbitantly for that privilege.
Don't!
