    What does your daughters mother have to say about it? Where you stand is on what mom wants/agrees to.
    I don't know the laws with Ireland and Australia but I think you should be able to work something out with the mother. You need to go for a custody order whether it is you getting primary custody or getting her for summer months or whatever you should go through court.

    You need to file for a modification of the custody order. A judge will then weigh pros and cons (including your daughter's preference) and make a decision.
