I tried to find more information on this case and according to the information I found the US authorities have never claimed that the owner of the data is either a US citizen or resides in the US.
Therefore it could indeed be data of someone who lives in Ireland or somewhere else in Europe.
This doesn't only look like a violation of Irish sovereignty, it is also a nightmare for US tech companies.
They are seen as data feeders for US intelligence agencies already. If they also expose their clients to the unpredictable US legal system, then no reasonable person or company outside of the US can justify to use their data-storage services.
