Ireland is a European country, so all Irish people are in Europe. If you mean why did they travel to other parts of Europe, then there are various reasons, like searching for work or a better life. In older times many travelled to set up monasteries and help build Christianity in Europe.

A main reason the Irish came specifically, though, was because of the potatoe famine which struck Irland. and potatoes were their main source of food.
