Yes, the IRA.
Maybe Gaelic-Norman, But actual Irish i'm not sure to be honest, the Irish were far more concerned fighting each other than to care what the Muslims and the mainland European Christians were up to. Although there certainly would have been many Irish mercenaries working for both the Europeans and Muslims.
The Irish Kingdoms didn't really have sufficiently sophisticated apparatus of state to organise crusades. Plus the Normans were a much more immediate concern than some dune coons half a world away.
There were individual Irish crusaders. I remember reading about one in Daniel Ross's History of Ireland. Art Ó Ruairc or something.
So, the Irish Kingdoms didn't crusade, but yes there were Irish crusaders.
We have a Norse inscription in a Neolithic tomb in Maes Howe, Orkney, that reads "Jerusalem travellers rested here".

How much of the crusaders' forces were state funded? Richard II jumps out, but from what I've learned it's mostly upper nobility that funded the heavy costs (in the first crusade at least)
