Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Brasília is 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Dublin.
For the smoothest call, aim inside 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Brasília, i.e. 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Dublin. Dublin is 3 hours ahead of Brasília, but you'd hardly notice — 7 hours of shared hours makes this feel like working in neighbouring time zones. Don't be caught out by clock changes — Dublin observes daylight saving and Brasília doesn't, so the offset varies by an hour through the year.
