Gosh, I looked through the en_IE.xml file and there's no parentLocale 
element in the file? Surely, the standard is better than to have some 
useful inheritance data that's required squirreled away in some 
uselessly named file like "supplementalData.xml" in an entirely 
different directory.

Seriously, parentLocale should be part of the identity block in the 
common/main/ll_CC.xml file. Not having it there is silly.

However, it would appear you're right.
