So just to make sure we understand the situation. You have been contracting in England for a company registered in the RoI. The company hasn't paid all/some of your invoices.
You tried a UK based solicitor who chased/wrote to the English part of the operation who stated they have nothing to do with the finance side.
Assuming the above is correct we would suggest you use a debt collection agency who has an agent on the ground in Ireland. Using a UK firm with no presence in Ireland is unlikely to be any use as lets face it, they are unlikely to be worried by a foreign company.
Legal action is also an option, but you need to be aware that the costs involved are considerably higher than in the UK and getting a case before a judge can take a long time (in the region of 1-2 years depending on the court!)
Pretty sure we can think of a suitable agency, but the name escapes us...

Sorry, have no idea (but hopefully someone else will). Could you engage an Irish solicitor or debt collection company?
