This is less of a concern in Ireland due to the Organisation of Working Time Directive and the Right to Disconnect. Most large employers will be at pains to ensure you stop working outside your normal work hours.

In general, cycling infrastructure is poor in Ireland and public transport is dire unless you happen to live in specific parts of Dublin, Galway or Cork. Added to the EU's worst housing crisis and highest cost of childcare and remote work is extremely popular here. A deal-breaker for many.
