I don’t think Ireland grows corn today. The wiki page for Irish agriculture doesn’t even mention it, which I interpret as “not enough grown to be noteworthy”.

- biorach 2y agoWe grow maize, which is what we call corn, here. In significant quantities, using modern agricultural methods. Even with that the climate is not totally suitable and it is mostly used for animal feed. I very much doubt it would have been possible to grow sustainable amounts of maize up until recent decades
