HI Corkguy. I’m not a spider expert myself, but your photo looks just like the spider that I found (lots of them around my house) and I’ve had it confirmed by a zoologist as being the Missing Sector Orb Weaver (Zygiella x-notata), which is common in Ireland and harmless. They create their webs in the corner frames of windows mostly.
Any idea what type of spider this is? Is it dangerous?
