Yes, international students in Ireland are generally allowed to attend professional training workshops, seminars, or short professional development courses while studying, as long as these activities do not interfere with their main program of study and comply with their student visa conditions.

Key Points:
- Primary Purpose: Your main reason for being in Ireland must remain your full-time academic program at a recognized institution.
- Type of Workshops: Attending occasional professional training workshops, conferences, or seminars related to your field of study is usually permitted.
- Workshops as Part of Studies: If these workshops are integrated into your academic curriculum, it is fully acceptable.
- External Workshops: If you are considering attending workshops not directly related to your course, make sure they do not impact your attendance or academic progress.
- Visa Restrictions: You cannot use a student visa to enroll in a full-time professional or vocational course that is not part of your academic program.

Part-Time Work:
- International students may work up to 20 hours per week during term time and up to 40 hours per week during holidays, which could include paid internships or training relevant to your course.

If you have a specific workshop in mind or require confirmation for a particular program, Pollster Education can assist you in checking the details with your university or the Irish immigration authorities.
