I believe it concerns the very recent peasant and serf ancestry of all Irish. It is a nation completely lacking any aristocratic or high bourgeoisie sentiments and is instead comprised of a peasant rabble who've only recently learned how to speak English. It is a common feature of peasant societies to fall for antisemitism and admire third-world things. Nobody would wonder about the third-worldliness of Niger or Malawi and the same, sadly, applies to Ireland.
