Taiwan

I still have not seen a single reference to China's threat to the Taiwanese people in any of the Irish media.

This is a good example of how the media influences people's opinions. If anything at all happens in Iraq or the West Bank/Gaza, it gets coverage in the Irish print and broadcast media. However, when one of the world's great powers threatens to invade a small, island democracy if they vote for independence, there is no coverage whatsoever.
