Ireland-Somalia Visa Issues

This question is fiction-related. Is it theoretically possible for a Somali citizen living in Somalia to obtain a fiancee visa to Ireland? There is no Irish embassy or consulate in Somalia, so I'm not sure if she would have to be resident in another country first.

The Irish fiance might be able to organise the visa in Ireland. Sometimes one country's embassy will handle matters for other countries (e.g. Canada and Australia often look after each other) and there is a UK embassy in Somalia. I think it would be a lot easier to do from the Irish end of things though.
