With the group buy for CRP R5, I thought it might be time to share this particular pet peeve that seems to be weirdly widespread.

The legends that Hammer, 21kb, and others have been advertising for quite some time as being "Irish" sublegends are not Irish at all. They are, instead, the US International layout, a layout useful for persons who type primarily on a US keyboard but that need to access characters used by Western and Northern European languages. This layout is also widely used in The Netherlands.

The actual Irish layout is nearly identical to the UK layout.

My suspicion is that this error started with one manufacturer who didn't know any better and has since proliferated. Please stop using a country's name to label and sell a product that has nothing to do with that country. Or, at the very least, do like Syruplabs and start labeling these kits correctly as Not Irish.
