I want to move to Galway

21 years ago
I'm an American who is interested in relocating to Galway--I've been told by the Irish Embassy that the only way to get a work permit is to have a company sponsor me, otherwise I am only permitted on a tourist visa for the 90 days U.S. citizens are allowed to stay.
If that is true, how are so many non Irish citizens working in Galway? I came across so many people who emigrated there without the required work permit.
Is it virtually impossible for an American to move there?
I'd appreciate any kind of feedback.
