He can work in Austria without a visa, it's in the EU. Unless of course you mean Australia, in which case I assume you're American and unable to distinguish between the two.
2 :
Is he an irish citizen? If so yes (he can work and live in all 27 EU countries not only Austria). If not well then it´s as good as impossible because of the EU rules.

As already answered by others, if your friend is citizen of any of EU countries, he can live and work in any of the EU countries. Assuming he is not, then, here is a piece of news for you. Austria has relaxed visa norms for migrants hailing from non-EU nations. This step is aimed to help fill the widening gap between the required number of workforce in the nation. A new Austria work permit- ‘red-white-red card’ has been unveiled by the nation and it will come into effect from 1st July 2011 onwards. For getting Austria work permits to work in the nation, the eligibility criteria with regard to age, language skills, education and work experience has been laid down. The ‘red-white-red card’ has been fashioned along the lines of the US Green Card and named after colors in the national flag of Austria.
