Not that great.

Billed as "Traditional Irish Chocolates".

"Traditional" in Ireland usually means "less than ten years since product invented".
A bit like Magniers "traditional Irish cider" (dating from 1998 or so)
or Bailey's "traditional Irish cream" - dating from around 1979.

Real traditional Irish chocolate was made by Cadbury's (they had a factory in Coolock, Noth Dublin).

Correct. If you want chocolates look to the Belgians and Swiss, certainly not to the Irish!

The Irish even did their version of Coleman's mustard. It was horrible. Needed about ten times as much to get the flavour.
