[Bug localedata/3236] New: locale en_IE doesn't define AM/PM, it should


The locale for Ireland (en_IE) doesn't use AM/PM for time. It should.

This problem was previously described by Paul Dunne here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/bug-glibc/2003-01/msg00083.html

Here's some programme output:

$ echo $LC_ALL

$ export LC_ALL=en_UK
$ date +%p
PM

The correct values for AM and PM are the same as for the UK. en_IE should mimic
en_UK for AM/PM.
