David,

You cannot I suppose. As far as I know most major ISPs are more or less 
into implementing IPv6, but it is still far from a production service. 
No harm however in asking Eircom if they do not need customers for test.

There are 2 ISPs in Ireland I know of who supply IPv6 to all customers, 
but they are both outside Dublin (Galway and Louth) and my feeling is 
that you ask about Dublin.

For the moment I would recommend IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel from www.sixxs.net 
(HEAnet is their Dublin's PoP). It works great for me.

Regards,
Sergiusz
