I am a NZ citizen who has been staying in the UK on an ancestry visa. I plan to leave the UK in March, just before my visa expires, and go to Eire for 6-8 weeks to visit friends. I would like to re-enter the UK for 2 weeks to say a final goodbye to friends here (I would already have my flight to NZ via Vietnam booked when I re-enter) is it possible for me to do this?

Yes you can. The second visit will be considered under "tourism". The official GOV.UK page states the following:

You won’t need a visa to come to the UK

However, you should bring the same documents you’d need to apply for a visa, to show to officers at the UK border.

(!) You may want to apply for a visa if you have a criminal record or you’ve previously been refused entry into the UK.

There is nothing prohibits you from visiting the UK again if you had a previous visa and they did not mention any time limit before you can come again to the UK.
