Short answer
Rubra Digital delivers LLM and RAG consulting to organisations in Ireland, working across Dublin, Cork, Galway and remotely. Engagements are designed around EU AI Act, GDPR, DORA. EU regions in Dublin.
What is different about delivering in Ireland
Ireland hosts the European headquarters of a large share of global technology and pharmaceutical companies, which means the DPC acts as lead supervisory authority for cross-border processing far beyond Ireland itself. Projects here are frequently multi-jurisdictional from the first sprint, and the compliance narrative has to satisfy several markets at once. English-first delivery and EU data residency in one place is the reason many groups anchor their AI programme in Dublin.
How that changes my build
I document the one-stop-shop position early, because an Irish-led rollout often becomes the reference implementation for the rest of the group.
Frameworks I design against
- EU AI Act
- GDPR
- DORA
- Central Bank of Ireland guidance
Data residency
EU regions in Dublin.

AI consulting in Ireland: FAQ
Do you work with clients in Ireland?
Yes. I deliver remotely across GMT/IST with on-site workshops in Dublin, Cork, Galway for discovery, architecture review and handover, which are the points where being in the room helps. My working language is English, and I work with source material in Irish.
Which regulations shape AI projects in Ireland?
The frameworks that most often change how I design a system here are EU AI Act, GDPR, DORA, Central Bank of Ireland guidance. The primary data protection regulator is Data Protection Commission (DPC). I document the one-stop-shop position early, because an Irish-led rollout often becomes the reference implementation for the rest of the group.
Can our data stay in Ireland?
EU regions in Dublin. Where a client needs inference to stay inside the jurisdiction, that gets designed in from the start rather than retrofitted, including fully on-premise deployment with open-weight models where no external inference is permitted.
What does an AI consulting engagement cost in Ireland?
Discovery engagements start at €22,000 and production builds typically run from €55,000 to €180,000 depending on scope. I invoice in EUR and quote fixed price for defined scopes, with the assumptions written down before you commit.
