What paint is best for Irish weather?

Should I paint or wallpaper in Ireland?

Do I need to prime walls before painting in Ireland?
Yes, primer is recommended on new plaster, bare wood, or stained walls. In Ireland's damp climate, use a stain-blocking primer to prevent damp stains bleeding through.
