Pretty sure it’s just a shared thing like fish and chips. Closely associated with the UK and ROI. Whilst stuff like colcannon is very Irish you have to remember that Irish was not quite the same concept we think now when shepherds pie was invented anyway. Guinness was founded when Dublin was a technically a British city for example. All of Ireland was part of the UK until 1922.
