How long can I be out of Ireland after PR Card obtained

[ace94]

Hi

Can anyone explain me how long a person can be out of Ireland after obtaining the PR Card? Is any rule to be in Ireland every year for a certain period within the first 5 years? Is it possible to go out Ireland like one month a year? Pl advise.

Thanks
