Under Irish law, are wills available for public viewing after a person has deceased ..?
.. or can only beneficaries have access to them? If they are available to the public, is there a central office where they are housed and do you need to obtain special permission to look at them?

Not sure. Will check this out
I don't believe you can view them until they have gone through Probate proceedings. Family CAN request that they be sealed.
Once the Grant of Probate has issued, the papers are lodged in the probate office in the Courts Service. Members of the public can examine them for a fee. Wills are also sometimes reported in the newspapers, but usually not in very much detail, - just the name of the deceased and the total amount. If the will goes back over twenty years, try the National Archives.
