Strange report, they seemed confused with the different between Irish territorial waters, and the exclusive economic zone, which are not 'Irish waters', but actually international waters, so the Russians are entitled to play their games there.

The difference between the territorial sea and the exclusive economic zone is that the first confers full sovereignty over the waters, whereas the second is merely a "sovereign right" which refers to the coastal state's rights below the surface of the sea. The surface waters are international waters. LINK

They do write "Off Irish Waters"

The problem has been that Russian subs have actually encroached into Irish waters over the past 2 years...and when challenged they just say they didnt mean to...but they have pretty much encroached where the international cables are laid . Irish fishermen complained and brought their boats out to stop them in 2022...
Ireland is not equipped to deal with a Russian sub if things start going belly up.
