If the Irish host is a member of INEX (http://www.inex.ie) and you're using an Irish ISP to do your FTP there will be fewer "hops" between you and the host..

SEO-wise - it is easier to conquer the uk market, when the website is hosted in the UK / it is easier to conquer the german market, when the website is hosted in Germany.

BUT - it is not impossible to conquer the German market with a website hosted in Austria, to conquer the international market with a website hosted in the cayman islands...

When using Google most users use the default /normal search, when searching from ie, qwebsites that are "more ie" to google are preferred. But you can always help out with proper content, linkpopularity, etc.

I'm not sure about the SEO angle (I would have thought a .ie domain is sufficient), but in my experience hosting abroad is cheaper and more reliable. If you host in the UK you're very near Ireland in networking terms and the difference would be marginal. Even sites in the States work fine. I think this obsession with Irish hosting is something Irish hosts are peddling, primarily. No issues with timezones in the UK either and incidentally, it's not much of a problem in the US either as most of the hosting crowds there have 24/7 support.
