If it conflicts with other laws in other countries, too bad. You shouldn't get yourself into holes like that, it isn't any country's fault.
No I am not saying the US can demand Irish data used in Ireland for Irish citizens. That has never been to the US and does not fall under US jurisdiction.

But doesn't that argument go the exact same way in the other direction? They are "in" both countries, and so have to obey both countries' laws, but no matter what action they take, it will be in conflict with one of them.
