If your SIM predates January 2023 then a replacement may mitigate or eliminate roaming problems:

If you have returned to Ireland from roaming abroad and are having problems using the 48 network/calls/texts/mobile data then see this key post, in particular the section titled "Returned Home?":
If you still have problems then you'll probably need to contact 48 support for further assistance.
