It wont pass without one, unless you're very lucky! I would just put it on and then not have to worry, if its been sitting make sure you go for a long drive and boost it a bit to clear any moisture/corrosion and activate the CAT again

lies, a mate put a 99 glanza threw mot last week with a straight threw exhaust, no cat, no back box nothing just a straight pipe and it passed (2.5 inch pipe)
 
as stated it should have a cat as per the mot testers guide book. By the book, my car should be tested on a non cat test yet some garages where wanting to test as a cat car.

Same probably happened with your mates car, it should have had a cat on, unless they do it differently in Ireland, as I am unsure if they have the same rules as mainland uk.
