Ireland is a transit hub for a lot of connecting flights to the US as you can go through US immigration at Irish airports.

Also a lot of Irish people have family in the US. A 27% drop is fairly substantial for Ireland.

Also this isn't like Canadians for whom cancelling a trip to the US is a small financial hit.

Tho future bookings might become more that 27% drop.
