I know, this is weird and I have never found an answer to this question. This domain is a .com, registered in the US and is not on an Irish IP. The only clue I can source is a little known feature of Google adwords (Bear with me). It's localized tagging. It may sound strange, but the fact that "Ireland" in in the title and in a lot of anchor text is the only reason I can think of.
