Ireland is within the EU, but not Schengen. So there is no 'free travel of product and person' from Schengen countries.

Checking the Amazon (DE) website, it seems like taxes should be applied together with the shipping costs: https://www.amazon.de/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200170100#GUID-F712B4A9-33E3-4F57-8C7F-A6D0A47F5550__SECTION_BD5261D0F4734BADA9B44C20681895C4

The applicable value added tax is included in the shipping costs.

Just scroll about halfway through the page to see the Ireland part, which also shows shipping costs.

Import tax(es) are not mentioned, as far as I can see.

 

I would contact the seller (which could be Amazon or a third party) to confirm anything though. I don't have experience with this, so I could very well be wrong.

 

EDIT: Oops, forgot Schengen was only for free travel of person, not product.

As both are members of the EU and part of the customs union, there's no additional import taxes.

VAT is added as standard, but there's no import taxes between countries in the customs union as items are in free circulation.
