It's hard to say when "a civilization" happens.

There are many, many relics of ancient cultures scattered across the island.

The Céide Fields are 5,000 years old and show evidence of walled fields houses and graves.

Newgrange, that massive burial chamber in the Boyne valley, is dated to 3,200 BC (600 years before the Pyramids of Egypt)

The Poulnabrone Dolmen is a gravesite which has been dated to 3,800 BC

Mount Sandel is the site showing the signs of a collection of seven buildings which are dated back to 9,000 years ago.

All this human activity shows signs that a civilization of some sort was present, as one or two people could not have created them.... but this is not to say that the whole of Ireland was part of those civilisations - we just don't have the proof of that. However, it seems unlikely that an undertaking such as the whole series of passage tombs of the Boyne valley, and elsewhere could have been less than an all-island undertaking.
