CK II update:
Same save as last time. Game date is July 5th, 1164. Well, the Kingdom of Ireland was created in 1123 by the guy I was playing as in the picture, Murchad II. All the de jure territory of Ireland was conquered by the early 1130's, then he died in a coma at 58 (which was coincidentally the same age his father Murchad was when he was murdered).
Since then, I've been playing as Murchad II's son Saerbrethach, literally been twiddling my thumbs trying to manipulate my way into ruling the Kingdom of Scotland, putting down the occasional revolt, and steadily regaining power from my council (with the full intent to abolish it once possible, looking like his son will be the one to finish the job if my hunch is correct). Pope called a second crusade since the one in my prior screenshot. Actually joined in this one (the first time out I was slowly reclaiming the last remaining bits of Ireland I didn't have in my realm), contributed a reasonable amount towards victory.
