That's ok. I think the OP's best choice would be to consult a property expert there, preferably a real estate lawyer to get an expert legal opinion. OP is seeking legal advice, and city-data is a bad place to get it. I would say stay in Ireland for 3 months, come back to the US for 9 months, and go back to Ireland for another 3
"Entitlement to health services in Ireland is primarily based on residency and means, rather than on your payment of tax or pay-related social insurance (PRSI). Any person, regardless of nationality, who is accepted by the Health Service Executive (HSE) as being ordinarily resident in Ireland is entitled to either full eligibility (Category 1; medical card holders) or limited eligibility (Category 2) for health services.
Visitors to Ireland may be entitled to free and/or subsidised services in certain circumstances."
But as I said earlier, I'm not pursuing residency (unless I have to) so I will be responsible for my own healthcare. That is one powerful motivation for the govt to allow me to enter multiple times as a tourist or visitor. I spend my money in-country without being a burden to them (except for perhaps emergency care in which case, I may be covered as a visitor/tourist)

Sure, in case of an emergency you will not be denied treatment anywhere in the EU. We still save people before we ask for the credit card
I guess Ireland makes it easy. I'm eligible to move there but prefer only to visit.
Australia has withdrawn it's very strict retirement visa. They want people who will work and pay taxes.
Brazil is also easy to retire to, you need an income of 2000 USD per month, that is pretty much all it takes when you are over 50
Don't know about Australia, they still need working immigrants, even for simple jobs such as truck driving.
