Maybe you're right, and I did wonder. I hoped Ireland might have been a bit more pragmatic somehow.
I did some stuff in Ireland about 20 years ago to do with financial regulation. In the UK it was and is an enormous industry (the regulation I mean, not the insurance). This was all under an EU directive, theoretically the same situation for both countries. I was astonished to find that I could literally ring up the Irish regulator and get a practical answer to a question that in the UK was unresolved despite the involvement of counsel, solicitors, and various employees of the FSA.
