Anyone here from Ireland that went to the London Bar?

I’m a final year undergrad in Ireland. Just did a mini-pupillage (not a thing in Ireland) this week with a crime set in London. Really enjoyed it just curious is there anyone in here from Ireland or even another jurisdiction that went down the Bar route in the UK.

Just for context the Bar in Ireland is great but it’s much more opaque than in UK as there no chambers, everyone is just self-employed.
