She wasn't Irish. She was British but born in Ireland. This is part of Ireland's attempt to cobble together some sort of anti fascist history as nationalism rises due to the displacement levels of immigration seeing numbers greater than the historical plantations of her kind, the legacy of which still causes trouble to this day.
More accurate to say she was Anglo-Irish, as she was born in Ireland.

Who is creating this narrative? And what do you mean by "Ireland's attempt"?
Nationalism tends to have a different meaning in Ireland and while there is some anti immigration feeling on the rise I would suggest that it is small and entirely misplaced in a country from which many more people traditionally emigrate.
