Eoin O'Duffy takes over Ireland in the 1930s and seeks aid from Francoist Spain and Nazi Germany. Population is heavily militarized to ensure neutrality in WW2, and is propped up by Franco's government throughout much of the Cold War as well as some under-the-table US aid to prevent the ITTL Communist IRA from taking over. After the war is over Ireland drifts towards neutrality and an ultracatholic conservativism, but never makes itself enough of a threat for Britain to quash.
A North Korea-like Ireland could be probably engineered out of an absolute bloodbath in an ATL 1920s.
