The first vote was on the standard Lisbon Treaty. The Irish rejected this. The second vote included amendments to that Treaty that, given the massive swing to acceptance clearly shows the Irish people are not as zealot as you leavers. The Irish were not anti EU or didn't want to leave the EU.
Rubbish that you linked to suggest the Irish voters were forced to change their mind and that the second vote was simply a re-run of the first. It was not. Following the changes put forward in the second Treaty the Irish people decided, by a large majority, to accept this.
You Brexidiots wouldn't understand how this works though. You are so blinkered in your hatred and fear of the devils and phantoms in the EU that you will vote against them whatever they offered. If they came back and said we could stay 'in' but with all the benefits and changes that we want to feel like we're out, you'd still vote to leave, because it's not the regulations you're against, it fundamentally is your little England xenophobia that drives you.
We can see by the Irish votes that they are sensible and open minded. They voted no, asked for changes to allow them to vote yes, got these changes and duly voted yes.
Next ....
