Hello guys my big brother (26) is looking to go to study in Ireland, joining the September 2026 intake.

We have our uncle(my dad's brother) and cousin(our uncle's son) who are both working and are residents there. They have both agreed to sponsor my brother. We can prove his relationship with them with just 3-4 birth certificates. Wo already have a school near our cousin's place in mind, fees won't be a problem, we'll pay it in full.

I need guidance on various things:
1. How best can he explain the change of careers from electrical engineering to applied social care?
2. We have uncles, two in the UK and one in the US that will be depositing money in his bank account in euros, USD and pounds. Can i just explain is from my uncles and show the statements, because we all share one surname.
3. How does he show strong ties to return back to the country of origin. He has a daughter but not married yet. He has just finished school in 2025 so he has no job, no pay slips, no property, nothing at all.
4. If there is no employment history is that a negative?
5. Do i have to purchase the Ireland education bond and/or have money in his bank account for expenses if he is fully sponsored by our uncles, and he will be fully hosted by our uncle and cousin in Ireland for the whole 4 years. Like the €10,000 for the first year and fees and €10,000 expenses for subsequent years.
6. For example fees for the remaining 3 years is like €30,000, so does my uncle's account need to have that amount all at once to prove he can pay my fees and support me?

Thank you for your time lads, looking forward to hear from you.
