FPV in IRL
lakelands:
I was looking into a few of those Fox based AV tx/rx combos which seem to be good value for money, are available in a wide power range (I would stick to low power versions) and have had generally positive reviews. As you said if you keep away from population areas I think you would pose very little interference impact. I think I'll delve a little deeper 8)
On a related note I have seen very few FPV videos from Ireland (perhaps I am looking in the wrong places) are there any in existance?

It looks like game is not worthy the candle. All this hassle with licence, then equipment for more then 1k $ , everything just to try the new toy - I am not sure. If someone wants to be very legal must not excite 25 mW for 5.8G transmitter. It is enough to reach 100m range (using quite expensive devices). On the other hand , I found report about 400m range on the ground with the same power and band. 300-500m is the range what I look for.
And two words about 'being legal' : Many people buy/import 5.8G AV links to transmit video from room to room , to look after a baby , to see who knocks to door. Most of them don't even know what they use. Intensity of electromagnetic field decreases proportionally to R^4 (R - distance between aerials) ... so this kind of occasional transmission (25mW), far from the cities and people aggregations would be hard to track , but most important : the chance that it would flood or interference other signal is very little.
Common sense is needed.
To be save : don't use 0.9 ; 1.2 ; 1.3 ; 2.4 GHz.
A few days ago I found an interesting website (not mine :) ) with 5.8G devices , reportedly very good but... prices , uff.

Nice... someone is using a gumcam/keychain. :)
I've a SlowStick ready to be built with all the extra gear ready for AP&FPV.
For when a AP&FPV meeting in IE? :)
Is there anymore passionated people for filming from the skies?
