A: Absolutely, you can find guidance on this matter by checking the latest immigration and visa regulations for Ireland. Generally, a Stamp 2 visa is granted to students who are enrolled in a full-time course of study. This visa does have certain travel restrictions, but the specifics can vary based on current policies.

If you plan to leave Ireland for four months, it's crucial to understand the conditions attached to your visa status. Leaving the country for an extended period might affect your visa's validity or your ability to re-enter Ireland. It's always recommended to notify your educational institution and seek advice from the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) or a legal advisor to understand the implications for your particular situation.

Before planning your travel, make sure to have all necessary documentation in order, including any required re-entry visas, if applicable. Keeping informed about any changes in immigration rules can help ensure a smooth return to Ireland. Remember, staying compliant with your visa conditions is essential to avoid any complications during your studies or upon your return.
