Ireland was officially neutral in WW2. However thousands of Irish citizens joined the British Army and Navy and RAF. Irish intelligence cooperated with the Brits quietly. While some Irish did support Hitler (as did some Brits and Americans) Ireland’s neutral policies quietly leaned to the Allies.

Also, one can hardly blame Ireland for not wanting to embrace the Brits.

Irish intelligence cooperated with the Brits quietly. If an Irish friend of mine is to be believed, Ireland also repatriated RAF pilots and aircrew who ended up on Irish soil, while detaining their German counterparts until the war's end.
