   "Gallimaufry refers to a mixture or jumble of various things, often used   
   to describe a collection that lacks a unifying theme. The term   
   originally comes from a type of stew made with different kinds of meats."   
      
   https://www.dictionary.com/browse/gallimaufry   
   "a hodgepodge; confused medley; jumble."   
      
   https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/gallimaufry   
   a jumble; hotchpotch   
   C16: from French galimafrée ragout, hash, of unknown origin   
      
   So, I'm guessing, not so much Ireland.
