check plugs and coil paks as these are the usual suspects.
Do you not get any 99RON fuel in Ireland?

I think Ireland has no high octane, so he could be living on his last cat's life!

Remap required to suit local fuels.

Jap fuel isn't 102 ron (especially when your car was released) so what you're doing now is fine but deffo get a remap for whatever fuel you can get your hands on.
Plenty of people in the Uk but have no idea about Ireland.
