Hurricanes usually occur near the tropics. Britain and Ireland are too far north to be affected by them. They usually need areas of warm water to form over, which they have in parts of the mid-Atlantic, Caribbean and Pacific. Occasionally a hurricane that has come up along the coast of the United States of America may cross the Atlantic and head towards Europe. It will not be as strong as it would be before that, so the storm is not as severe. The north Atlantic is not as warm as the mid-Atlantic so the hurricane won't pick up as much strength.
*Edit* - If I may add to that statement hurricanes are usually non-tropical by the time they reach the isles; however Hurricane Debby of 1961 made landfall in Ireland while still a tripcal system.
Ireland is located too far north to experience hurricanes, which typically form in tropical regions closer to the equator. The cooler waters around Ireland do not provide the necessary conditions for hurricanes to develop or sustain themselves.
The amount of moisture needed to form and sustain a hurricane can only be found over warm ocean water. So hurricanes can't form in any country, as they can't form over land. Hurricanes do not hit the UK because to reach it, they have to cross several thousand miles of relatively cool water. This causes them to degenerate into mid-latitude lows by the time they get there.
Hurricanes need warm ocean water to maintain their strength. The waters near New Jersey are generally cooler and cannot maintain a hurricane. Wind patterns also make it so that most storms that do impact New Jersey will have to interact with the east coast along the way, further sapping their strength.
Hurricanes need warm ocean water to form. The waters surrounding Ireland are too cold.
tropical storms only travel to britain, not start there,we had one here in Maine this summer and we are definitely not in the tropics

Can hurricanes happen in Ireland?
Yes, though most of the time they "landfall" as an extratropical storm. Hurricane Debbie of 1961 is the only recorded tropical cyclone to make landfall in Ireland as a an actual tropical system. It made landfall as a category 1 Hurricane in County Mayo in 1961.
What are Ireland's natural hazards?
Ireland has very few major natural hazards. It has no active volcanoes. Very minor earthquakes are sometimes felt in Ireland, but they pose no threat. Ireland does not get the extremes of weather that some parts of the world get. What it can get is some storms, though nothing like the major hurricanes other parts of the world get. When it rains very heavily, then there can be flooding, but it is not serious flooding by international standards. There are very few landslides in Ireland. Trees falling after storms can happen. Ireland is an island, so it can sometimes get high tides and that is a threat to people at sea. It does not get tsunamis.
