Does anyone know more about this car? I've never heard of it before, and it's not mentioned in the Beaulieu Encyclopedia. Looking at the design. I'd say it was post-1921 which means it actually is from Northern Ireland rather than Ireland.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

It is from Belfast - so definitely Northern Ireland and therefore the UK, was named OD, for Owner Driver and was meant to be a luxurious car. A handful were made and the company still exists, showing the car on their site. It was made in 1921-22.

Mention of the car in the book you named is at "Fergus".

Now it makes sense! I hadn't realised the company re-marketed the car under another name.
