Note again that the two buildings that were built for the Dominicans are called friaries, not monasteries. The two that were taken over from other orders are called abbeys.

Again, Dominicans are not monks, they are friars. The fact that some website administrator does not understand the difference really is neither surprising, nor is it material. What is material is that Mr. Bennett claims to have actually been a Dominican, but is apparently unaware that Dominicans are friars and are not monks: that they have different vows, that they have different canons, different educational requirements, different novitiates, different vocations.

I also note that of the four Irish Dominican foundations you keep posting, not one is located on the east coast of Ireland - yet your buddy claims to have lived at a Dominican foundation in Dublin county.
