How to get an Irish passport renewed in the UK?

Does anyone know what sort of professions are allowed to countersign an Irish passport renewal form here in the UK? Hope it's not just a priest, I don't know any! Thanks!

Social Worker
Teacher
Priest or Iman
Police Officer
Solicitor
etc etc, they have to have a relevant qualification.
Please Please make sure they have the qualification as I signed for a friend 3 years ago and they spot checked the application, fortunately I'm an immigration solicitor so there was no problem.

It is usually someone with a high standing position in the community that has known you for a length of time

- Priest
- Police Officer
- Teacher
- Somebody in local government
- Doctor

You could send it home to someone who knows you back in Ireland. It does not have to be here.
