I am very curious, were any measures taken two-three weeks before the lockdown? Because I saw a graph where cases in Ireland starts to drop literally next day after the introduction of the lockdown, and that, of course does not make any sense, because of the incubation period.

Yes, Ireland did various changes to restrictions before going to the full restrictions everywhere: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_the_Repub...

But it's also worth noting that the existence of the lockdown was flagged 10 days before it happened, which presumably changed behaviour by scaring a bunch of people.
