She could rent a server somewhere and transfer files from that
to her clients' servers. She would still have to get files to
her server somehow.

I would hope that she earns enough from her business activities
that she can afford to pay for a business connection.

Googling for ireland broadband comparison brings up some sites
where she can look for a better deal. Finfacts suggests there
are a number of operators who can offer unlimited volume
connections for under 50 euro/month.

I suggest you look for some local comment as well, on Irish
web forums or newsgroups.
