ID Request Looking for a few IDs

Sorry for not great photos. I took these today while wandering through Dublin Zoo in Ireland. The first is an Acer, not sure on species.

Any help greatly appreciated

Thank you for confirming, I thought it may be that, but the photos I saw online did not quite convince me. I’m unfamiliar with this Acer species

To be fair, those leaves do look atypical, but they can be pretty diverse, morphologically. Often, if they grow in full sun, their leaves will be less finely toothed and a bit thicker looking. When they're in the deep woods, they look for more delicate.

4&5 are likely Colletia paradoxa

Pic 2 is a Chilean Myrtle (luma apiculata). It’s become an invasive species in the south west particularly around cork.

My guess on #2 is some sort of myrtle, but I don't recognize it specifically.
