    It looks like Lonicera nitida, a useful evergreen for making a low hedge.  You can clip it into shape.  It's readily available in garden centres.
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Or if you leave the clippings lying, they'll root. Ask me how I know.

    You can take cuttings of it quite successfully.
    The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
