I didn’t notice it was Ireland to be fair.

The rest of the point stands though - they weren’t adding Syrian or Iraqi flags OR accepting tonnes of refugees. That’s not to single out Ireland of course - the same is true of the whole of Europe. Visible support of Ukraine is “trendy”. That’s not to say that people SHOULDNT support civilian victims of war, wherever that war may be, of course they should, but… reasoning isn’t irrelevant.
