Thanks for pointing this out; I was unaware that Ireland observes negative 
daylight-saving time in winter, instead of positive daylight-saving time in 
summer. This arguably is clearer than the common practice in North America and 
Europe, where "standard time" is observed only in a relatively small fraction of 
the year. I installed the attached proposed patch to fix the commentary along 
the lines that you suggested, and to change tm_isdst as well. UT offsets and 
abbreviations are unaffected by this change.
