this was fun, but I had to do a bit of intuition (guessing) to get moving.

I solved an earlier version of this a few weeks back when it was in testing. Already liked it back then but this one is much cleaner and has excellent signaling. Really inspired to use Irish dots for my own puzzles now!

When one sees his name in the title of a puzzle, he simply must play it. This is a well designed puzzle. Thanks for the shout-out on the Irish Dots. I'm humbled, and very appreciative. Thanks also for setting and sharing. This was a blast!

@Tingo - Glad to hear! and thank you for making them. They're a criminally under-used rule set, just as powerful as kropki dots but with some fresh implications; I hope you don't mind if I set a few more with these in the future <3 -- VKP
-- Please do. I made the rule set with the eye to giving back to the sudoku variant world. I look forward to your creations with the rules. Cheers! - Tingo
