Challenge: Independent Ireland

With a POD after 1780, your challenge is for there to be an independent Ireland recognised by the Congress of Vienna.

ASB if it's the Congress of Vienna. If the 1798 rebellion had succeeded due to support by the French troops who never got there in OTL, and a lot of things went badly for Great Britain, there might be a temporary Republic if there was an 1802-like peace. But then I doubt there would be with such a big thorn in Britain's side.

Only way to get one lasting for more than a couple of years is for Britain to be successfully invaded by France, which is difficult, though not impossible. I suppose if Napoleon had done it, OTOH, he might spin Ireland off as a separate kingdom under one of his less well liked marshals.
