Can't give you a definitive answer, as we've no MOT test for bikes in 
Ireland :)

The single dip beam thing is because of an EU directive on type approval, 
which only affects new bikes as sold. Once they leave the showroom floor, you 
can do what you like, subject to national laws.

AFAIK there is no UK law preventing the fitting of additional lighting to 
bikes (or Mod scooters :) ) provided you don't dazzle other road users, 
obviously.
