Ireland was in the Commonwealth until 1949. As an independent country and a republic, there is no reason for it to join again. It can still conduct relationships with Commonwealth countries through its Department of Foreign Affairs, and it does have embassies in many Commonwealth countries. It also trades with them. So it can maintain all diplomatic connections and get those benefits without being a member of the Commonwealth.
