So far everything I've read points at "Did a little trade, did some pottering around, hooked up with a disgruntled exiled Irish Prince. Didn't get round to invading due to pressing matters at home." <-- My paraphrasing.

The phrase "As Rome’s Continental conflicts escalated, the invasion of Ireland was suspended indefinitely." might help.
