Here's my list:
1. Queens university Belfast
2. University College Cork
3. UL
4. UCD
5. NUI Galway

Best institute of technologies worth mentioning, they're not universities:

1. DKIT Dundalk Institute of Technology
2. Athlone Institute of Technology: blighted by politics just about deserves mention

Trinity College should have been on the list, but its own progress is heavily impacted by internal politics.

Politics also seriously blights GMIT

What do there gubernites think?

^^^^ ya got me about DCU. Has entrepreneur office there. Formerly called NIHE, National Institute of Higher Education
name changed around 1990.

DIT and IT Tallaght - messy merger there.
The other messy merger being of course Carlow institute and Waterford institute of technology. Did not go well, government forced it.

Having mentored graduates in various pharma and biopharma establishments, for technical roles, I'd take IT graduates over university graduates simply because the IT graduates got more practical experience in their degree over the universities.
