 Modern Irish Coinage (1928 to date)
At the same time the harp was modified to impact the reverse design less and the legend was modified to Eire (Ireland in Irish) and the date was moved to one side of the harp.
Because the coinage circulating in Ireland comprised both British and Irish coins it was deemed prudent to introduce decimal coins at the same time as and with the same denominations as the British coinage.
From the delay in the issue and the lack of any reference to Ireland on the early documentation for the set I speculate that either Ireland was not originally invited to take part (or that it was invited and declined the initial invitation) and under consideration subsequently joined the scheme.

Although the defeats may have brought the 1928 victory into sharper focus, we should never forget what a wonderful performance those eleven men gave that day, and perhaps a new generation of Scots children will learn to reel off their names: Harkness, Nelson, Law, Gibson, Bradshaw, McMullan, Jackson, Dunn, Gallacher, James, Morton.

 An Artist & His Aliases - Brian O'Doherty/Patrick Ireland Art in America - Find Articles
Born in Ireland in 1928, O'Doherty emigrated to the U.S. in 1957.
Against the backdrop of the Northern Ireland peace process, in the summer of 1998 Ireland traveled to Derry for an exhibition of his work at the Orchard Gallery, a municipally funded, internationally known venue for contemporary art.
Should the continuing negotiations between the Unionists and Nationalists succeed, it will presumably be time for Patrick Ireland to revert to his original identity as Brian O'Doherty; that was not the occasion of the Orchard Gallery show but still, typically, the exhibition centered on the theme of identity and its mutability.

 Some Archbishops of Dublin, by T. S. Lindsay
And "far hills are blue"; one thinks of the glories of the past when Ireland was the Island of Saints, and one is prone to imagine that, since that golden age, matters have been steadily growing worse.
The spiritual life of a diocese greatly depends on the bishop, and the system of appointing bishops in Ireland was rotten to the core.
Quiet and satisfaction reigned; the clergy were ignorant and vulgar; the educated laity were, for the most part, sceptics and scoffers; the upper classes set an example of unbridled profligacy, and the lower orders were sunk in materialism and ignorance.
