since Pedantry was mentioned:

I expected this. The impossibility of making a pedantic correction without yourself being corrected is well known!

I didn't know IST (the name of the UTC+1 timezone) was Irish Standard Time and that they went backwards from that in the Winter! They do go back to GMT, though, as per the Standard Time Amendment Act, 1971:

BE IT ENACTED BY THE OIREACHTAS AS FOLLOWS:

Winter time.

1.—(1) (a) Notwithstanding section 1 (1) of the Standard Time Act, 1968, the time for general purposes in the State shall during a period of winter time be Greenwich mean time, and during such a period any reference in any enactment or any legal document (whether passed or made before or after the passing of this Act) to a specified point of time shall be construed accordingly unless it is otherwise expressly provided.

The timezone which does this switch, from IST to GMT in Winter, and back again in Summer on the dates specified in the above Act, however, is known as "Europe/Dublin" in the /usr/share/zoneinfo/* files, whose authority in my view supersedes any mere act of parliament.
