32 psi, cold. Just like it says in the owner's manual and (if rules in Ireland are similar to those in the US) on the sticker on the car.

That's a good point. Are English units (which two of us cited) even legal outside of the US?

220 kPa. Snow tires 30 kPa higher.

If you're racing, higher or lower pressures may be appropriate. But for normal street driving the car maker's "official" pressures are the way to go.
