Subpages under
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Ireland are fine.
I think we are actually a long way from being able to form a chapter as a
legal entity, and it is far better to look at the kinds of thing we want to
do as a group and start doing them than to postpone that until we have an
official Wikimedia Ireland chapter.
My own particular interests are
(a) *Educational:* Adapting wikipedia (and wikibooks) content to be
'classroom ready' for the Irish classroom. Particularly "Project
Maths<http://www.projectmaths.ie/>"
- the new Irish maths curriculum. Most likely by starting a wikibooks book.
(b) *Wikimedia Technology:* Improving SVG image creation. I know one of the
people working on OpenStreetmaps software, and it would for example be cool
to get the new 'Dublin transport map' into OpenStreetmaps format.
I've ideas for how to involve organisations like Educate Together in this,
but it is going to be better if we have pages to discuss and plan this.

Is a start. I am going to be away from the computer for a week, and will do
something more about this when I get back.

Can we ask wikimedia for:

To be enabled as a wiki and start using that as our organisation's wiki?
The Foundation used to create wikis for planned chapters that
requested them, but I think now they prefer to wait until after the
chapter is approved before creating the wiki. (We have quite a few
wikis with stalled chapter creation processes that are just sitting
around not being used.)
Is there something that you wanted to do while planning the chapter
that couldn't be done on Meta-Wiki? If not, creating subpages of
"Wikimedia Ireland"[0] is usually the best way to go.
