Just because the Ireland law calls it standard time doesn't mean it can't be summer time as well.
POSIX doesn't have the notion of summer time; it has only standard time and daylight saving time (also called "alternative time" in POSIX). The 1988 edition of POSIX did mention summer time, but this wording was removed long ago, I assume because it was less accurate and/or confusing. It's not unreasonable to use standard time in POSIX to represent standard time in Ireland.
