4-5 day ppl exam courses
From the FAQs:
"Q.5. Will the IAA accept my PART-FCL exams if I complete them in another EASA Member State?
A. The IAA will accept a full set of exams completed in one member state."
From "Foreign Exams":
"A complete set of EASA PPL examinations carried out under the direct control of another EU Member State may be acceptable towards the issue of an EASA PPL licence subject to satisfactory verification.
Please note that it is not possible to get satisfactory verification from some states. Therefore, sitting of foreign exams is not recommended as their acceptance may not be possible.
Foreign theory exams may not be used to support an application for a national licence."
The critical bit seems to be:
The implication being that the IAA is unable to get satisfactory verification from the UK CAA as they do not administer the examinations. Nevertheless, I can find nothing on the IAA website specific to the UK exams.
Please note that it is not possible to get satisfactory verification from some states. Therefore, sitting of foreign exams is not recommended as their acceptance may not be possible.

Bb. That is EXACTLY the stance being adopted, notwithstanding that they have managed to issue umpteen PPL(A)(H)and(M) licences on the basis of such UK exams until just now. Maybe something to do with their dislike of brexit???

A shame, as the Irish PPL system is so inflexible - set dates, central location etc.
Surely, the Verification comes from the ATO/DTO/RF
TBH, having seen the way some organisations treat the current system, I have a sneaking sympathy for the IAA's position.
