A passport should be sufficient, no matter where you're going.
Yes, I'm Irish and I went there last year, I needed a VISA, however, I bought it when I arrived at the airport, it was about 鈧?5. However, you would need a different VISA to go to different parts of the country.. You be best to contact the Egyptian Embassy in Dublin, link below

Canadians must have a passport valid for at least two months beyond period of intended stay, and a visa is required. A 30-day visa can be obtained on arrival provided the purpose of travel is for tourism. For travellers just travelling to the south Sinai resorts, a free 14-day visa can be obtained on arrival.
Passport (must be valid at least 2 months beyond period of
intended stay) required.

Visa required.

However, a 30 days' visa can be obtained on arrival provided:
- coming for touristic purposes; or
- coming for other purposes, if arriving from a country
without Egyptian representation or in emergency cases (left
to discretion of Immigration Authorities).
Fee: USD 15.- or equivalent.

If entering Egypt via South Sinai (through Sant Katherine,
Sharm El Sheik or Taba airports), a 14 days' visa -free of
charge- can be obtained on arrival provided:
- remaining in South Sinai resorts; and
- not continuing to any other city in Egypt.

Wives of Egyptian nationals:
visa exempt, provided holding proof thereof. However, wives
who are of a nationality who normally cannot obtain a visa
on arrival are required to obtain approval from the authorities upon arrival.

Yellow fever vaccination not required.

Malaria prophylaxis recommended during period June-October.

Yes you will need a visa, I went to Egypt about 3 years ago (Visa cost ~$70.00 Canadian...I think). You will want to get the visa before you go b/c when you hit customs there (I entered at Cairo), expect to be in line for some time...you don't want to make it longer! The visa was a typical application, how long, what for, where are you going etc. Some sites with the application and info are:
