I'm using a US-registered Kindle III in France.
The WiFi works for everything, including web browsing.
The 3G works for the Kindle store and for Wikipedia look-ups. Other sites are blocked. Not surprising, given the cost of normal phone calls here.
I can't tell you a thing about Ireland, but free WiFi, or finding an open node, is pretty rare here. The normal home DSL "modem" and router (the "Livebox" from Orange, formerly France Telecom) defaults to WPA, so finding an open one is very rare. Some cafes and other places have open WiFi, but it's not like the States where they are all over.
