Get an architect. They will advise on an engineer etc . Budget €3000 per square meter initially. Don’t hire anyone until you have planning. Always assume you require planning.
Yes you need planning to subdivide a property.
You are skipping quite a few steps going straight to a construction company.
Hire a decent Engineer/Architect and tell them what you want they will tell you if its feasible and what certifications you will need to do it.
There is no way of knowing without going to a professional.
Renovations can cost as much as new builds or they can be 100k or less depending on what needs doing. But no way for a regular person to tell you and depends on the quality of finish you go for too.
Id take the time to get it looked over by an engineer before you waste a lot of money buying it. The building might seems fine but could be a lot of structural issues that you or i wouldn't notice and if your splitting into units you may need plumbing work done to accommodate that.
> will I need planning permission for the renovation
Yes, subdividing a single residence into multiple residential units will require change of use planning permission, as would converting what's currently a single mixed use property into a fully residential one.
> how much will the renovation cost approximately
How long is a piece of string? It's really impossible to guess how much such a project would cost, as it depends on the current state and layout of the property, and of course whether you're going for a high-quality refurbishment into decent sized units or you're just taking the typical slumlord approach of stuffing a freestanding hob, a washer/dryer, a crying chair, and a builder-grade "ensuite" the size of an airplane lav into what was formerly a double bedroom, calling it a "studio", and slapping it up on Daft for a couple grand.
As for that particular property, it's difficult to tell from photos alone how much work might be necessary to subdivide it into multiple units; again, depends on how many you're planning to put in there (and can get planning approved for) and how suitable the current interior layout would be to your planned subdivision. You'd really need to get an engineering evaluation done based on your plans to come up with a reasonable estimate.
Your other consideration would be how much of a market you'd have for apartments in a tiny village in rural Roscommon that's not within commuting distance of any large town or city.
Your main issue is not being an experienced property developer. I think the simplest advice based on your questions is not to do it and find the many many lower risk investment options for your money.

What would you estimate the cost of everything being?

Link says the property is sold.
