Great to see some Irish talent doing well.
Anyone know the last Irish driver to win an F2 / GP2 / F3000 race?

I think Derek Daly might actually be the last driver to win a second-tier race under the Irish flag, if you don't count Formula Nippon as FLB posted (and even then, Firman wasn't born in Ireland).
I'd guess Adam Carroll would be the last driver born on the island of Ireland to win a second-tier race.

Alex Dunne 
Might it be, as Frood says, Derek Daly? Carroll wasn't born in Ireland, and didn't race with an Irish flag iirc.

Mad that it’s Derek Daly. Must be mid 70s.

Last race of the 1979 Euro F2 championship: Formula 2 1979 - Donington 50000
Dunno about Japan, though. David Kennedy ran there for multiple years, although I think mostly in sportscars.
