Besides other suggestions already made, you might see if someone near
you has Allen J. Hubin's CRIME FICTION bibliography, which includes
an index of mysteries by geographical setting.
I don't recall if the original CRIME FICTION edition had this feature
or not (though I think it did).
In CRIME FICTION II (published 1994, covers mysteries up through 1990),
there are some 200 books listed under "Ireland" (vol. 2, page 1252);
there are also a dozen under "Belfast" on p.1223 and 20-odd under
"Dubln" on page 1235. If you don't have access locally, I could
photocopy and send these pages (let me know off list).
A later edition, CRIME FICTION III, came out only on cd-rom; I don't
have that one. It extends coverage up through 1995.
Hubin, who is local (and uses this library quite a bit), is working
on a fourth and last (from him, anyway) edition, which will cover
up through 2000. He hopes to arrange publication in book form (or
in both book and cd form), but no firm arrangements yet.

If your patron is interested in historical mysteries, try Peter Tremayne's
Sister Fidelma series, set in Ireland in the 7th century.
