I do not believe that the "average man on the street" in Ireland thinks their clocks go back in winter
This point was discussed before the changes were installed in December. As I recall, it appears that in Ireland the more-common usage agrees with the legal usage, which is that IST is called "Irish Standard Time" and is the standard time that is observed for most of the year, and that GMT is observed during winter. I recall looking at a number of English-language sources about this. For more, please see the thread starting here: https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2017-December/025682.html
