Can you get clothes/footwear that are made in Ireland?

I've been trying to compile a list of clothing and footwear makers that are located in Ireland, and... well, there really don't seem to be any.

Can anybody please tell me of any Ireland-based manufacturers of clothes or footwear that are not set dancing costumes or communion dresses?

dubarry shoes would be one.

You'd think they were Irish, but I've looked up Dubarry and apparently they moved their shoe manufacture to Portugal. Similarly with McGee.
