This is due to the colonization of Ireland by the British. When Ireland became an English colony they adopted a policy of partitioning. In which they allowed colonists to settle in Ireland in the hopes that the colony would be regulated by these new settlers without Great Britain expending any major resources. The natives of Ireland are Catholic while those who were colonists were Protestants (because Lutheranism is the primary religion of the English crown). Thus two different forms of Christianity have developed in Ireland. Catholicism and Lutheranism (protestant).
