The Scandinavians did a bit less plundering of Ireland than they did elsewhere. The Irish were a rough lot in those days ~

I suspect that a dearth of readily portable wealth had some thing to do with their lack of plundering, once the monasteries had been plundered, the only other major source of transportable wealth in Ireland was cattle and cattle can be a bit difficult to take on an extended voyage in small boats.
