It appears to be an error originally from IMSTO that got propagated to multiple dyesub manufacturers. KPRepublic might be making the same error, but they probably aren't the source.
They should fix it, if it turns out to be the case.

Things change names all the time, and this one is honestly pretty easy since it’s objectively wrong.

Right. US International layout. Widely used in the Netherlands.

It’s US International, which is intended as a multilingual layout.

They're pretty, and they can stay. But they're not enough.

For good or ill, I think the layout most likely to get recognized as Canadian will be the Canadian Multilingual one instead.

Right. I was couching my terminology there because of the older Dutch layout that some still use (though rare).

After some persuading, Syruplabs corrected them and changed the store page to call them "Not Irish." I really appreciate him doing that.
However, I don't think that change has spread to the other vendors yet.

Addendum:
pwade found what appears to be the source of the original error, a run of keycaps from IMSTO. There, the layout was labeled "Irish(USIntl)," which at least got the second part right.

You could even call them "Dutch" and be at least partially correct.

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.
