Owner Occupy Mortgage - When can I rent property?

[Alan Byrne]

I want to take out a mortgage over the next year to invest in my first property. However, there is a slight problem. Unfortunately I do not earn enough to get a mortgage as an investment. I only earn enough to get a mortgage as an owner occupier. Can I still rent a property out if I got the home on an owner occupier mortgage? All input would be greatly appreciated. Especially if you have knowledge of how things go here in Ireland.
