There were American and British air bases in Northern Ireland and Scotland during the war, but not in the Republic of Ireland. The Republic of Ireland was a neutral country, so it was not involved in the war directly so its army had no involvment. Some Irish citizens fought with the British army.
Northern Ireland War Memorial was created in 2007.

They did join in. In World War 2 only Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal and Ireland remained neutral.
Ireland was still a part of Britain at the time ... On 5 August 1914 Britain declared war on Germany on behalf of the entire British Empire.
The Republic of Ireland was neutral throughout World War II; and was not occupied by either side. Northern Ireland was on the Allied side as part of the United Kingdom.Germany never invaded Ireland, although they did make at least one attempt to get Ireland to join the Axis; which was refused. The German Abwehr (Secret Service) tried to get the co-operation of the IRA for spying and intelligence purposes; but met with little success.
Great Britain, or more correctly The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, was involved in both World War 1 and World War 2.
The Republic of Ireland is and always has been a neutral country. So the Republic of Ireland has never been at war with anyone. Your question may come from a misconception of Ireland and the troubles that have been in Northern Ireland. Many people have the mistaken idea that Ireland and England are at war, or that the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland are at war, neither of which are true.
