Do all wills need to go through probate in Ireland?

[magsd57]

My mum died recently and left a will which is with her solicitor. I with my sister are executors of the will. My mum's estate, which is the house she lived in, will be divided equally between her children. Will this will have to go through probate?

Please note that the executors are free to take out probate themselves, they don't have to use a sol.
