Because the main reason (AFAICT) for Eire not joining the Schengen Zone is that the UK wasn't, and at the time they had no intention of upsetting the UK. That becomes a lot less relevant post Brexit, when they want to pull in closer contacts with the rest of their main trading zone. Schengen would require a passport check on Irish borders.
