His work focuses on monetary policy transmission mechanisms, inflation dynamics, and the historical evolution of central bank strategies. Ireland has contributed extensively to understanding the effects of interest on reserves, the Barnett critique, and the implications of New Keynesian models for policy analysis.
His research spans topics such as money growth rules, nominal GDP targeting, and the role of monetary aggregates in policy frameworks.
