    They're called security posts.
    This place http://www.centinel.org.uk/centinel_c2.htm might have an Irish agent. You could email them and see.

    They work in three ways:

    (a) it makes it difficult to steal your car, because at low speed the car can't ram the bar fast enough to break it.

    (b) it stops ram raiders by taking the brunt of the force, meaning the roller shutter / window is damaged rather than destroyed.

    (c) they stop silver Merc drivers from parking in your space by (i) keeping them out (ii) keeping them in (iii) you have a large cudgle available. :D
