Ireland is an outlier in the fact that her ascendancy coincided with the US tech boom and language was an advantage. You have a very awkward situation developing and the current political leaders don't have the imagination to get out of it.
The UK is an outlier because though they had a far more robust and diverse economy they threw everything into finance and have just burned any bridges back.
