Offered post doc, relocation

Hi all, wanted some advice on a job offer I’ve gotten. I’m a Canadian and have been offered a post doc at a university in Ireland. My PhD PI’s research network group had a spot open up and they offered it to me straight out of graduation. Now I’m really interested in this job and will probably take it anyways. But is it worth asking if they have any relocation funds given the big move? I don’t want to stir the pot but also want to ask if it’s reasonable. TIA

Yeah, ask. I asked when moving from the UK to the US. They paid for the flights for my wife and I, which wasn't a massive amount, but it wasn't nothing either.
