The ruling in the UK was about whether the marriage would be recognised as marriage or a civil partnership, as I understand, but the case in Ireland seems to be more about having any rights at all. Since the difference between marriage and cp is almost entirely one of language, it's a different issue to the actual lack of rights in Ireland. This isn't to say the language isn't important. I admit I'm not totally up on all of this, but that's how it seems to me. Right?
