There was a 30x XP weekend back in october / november and I couldnt get a match all weekend, however I dont have all the maps to maybe that had something to do with it. Also my connection can be sh1t so again it could have a lot to do with it. I will try again over the weekend and see if I can get into any.

Not sure if this will help, but sometimes having your console locale as UK rather than Ireland can help get games, as per http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=69136589&postcount=13

It definitely helped me, though I'm fully aware this "solution" only really exacerbates the problem, as if all users in Ireland eventually make the change, then it perpetuates the issue of new users being unable to find games. Really it would just make a lot more sense if the matchmaking gave priority to neighbouring territories, as well as matching/identical ones as it seems to now.
