The English surname Fuller is believed to have derived from the description of a worker (called a fuller)that washed yardage by scouring and thickening the cloth, readying it for pre-shrinking. This was accomplished by trampling and beating the raw cloth while it was soaking in water.

I couldn't find anything about the name's Irishorigination.
