Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Irish Mirror at 4.7 against Tuairisc's 3.8. Irish Mirror also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 43 months) and ratings volume (142 vs 5). Tuairisc's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
