Is Ireland second highest because it's in english? It's still seems overrepresented as the UK has one in 12 subscribing but Ireland has one in 4.

These are also not unique users i guess, so could be for example a lot of Irish redditors are subscribed to the UK subreddit but not the other way around i guess

Could also be the popularity in general among the population, I don't know but I see also Portugal being almost as big as Spain so i guess it's just not perfectly spread.

I'm also wondering if there is a large amount of users with Irish heritage that join but aren't necessarily residents.

From what I remember when I used to use it there were a lot of Americans, and Irish people that emigrated but wanted to keep in the loop

R/Ireland really had its own vibe, different from other subreddits, just look at the logo, made from a still from the Father Ted episode "A song for Europe". I've not seen other national subreddits have such a different vibe.

It is populated next to Irish people with traveling Americans, migrated Irish and foreigners who lived or live in Ireland. The country holds a special place in all their hearts.

All in all it's a bit of craic, with the moaning Michael posts, pictures of chicken fillet rolls and some disinformation campaigns (some people tell you that you have to pay for the luas trams, but everyone knows the luas is free.)

It will be American "Irish" trying to reclaim their heritage for the most part.
