Because the Irish left all their lights on for the Germans to use as guide points navigating to Liverpool, they didnt have to fly in from southern England risking all the flak and night fighters to get to Liverpool and Manchester. Remember they didn't need to fly from Germany, they had bases in France as well, also submarine bases and doodlebug launch pads.
