Which part of Ireland? Over here in galway, there's been an unusual amount of sun the past week or so.
Whatever coat you decide to bring, make sure it's waterproof. I bought a wool pea coat over Christmas and have yet to use it cause it's not rain proof. N it takes up quite a bit of space in the luggage...

Layers work best, i.e., a wool sweater under and a waterproof jacket over. A cardigan sweater is best because if it warms up you can always take it off. If it's really cold, wear two sweaters - much easier to deal with than a heavy pea coat.

Amen to layers. Just got back ten days ago. My three basic layers were a cashmere V-neck pullover, a fleece zip-up cardigan, and a waterproof jacket with hood (Marmot PreCip). Used them in different combinations, and one day I did indeed use all three.

I'm also leaving soon for Ireland, 10-day trip the last of June.
How warm are the warm days? Should I pack sandals and capris? What kind of shoes are best?
Our itinerary includes Dublin to Galway, Aran Islands, Doolin, Cliffs of Moher/Burren, Killarney, Dingle Peninsula, Ring of Kerry, Kenmare, Kinsale, on over to Glendalough, flying out of Dublin.
