These would all be nice but - Ireland is in the EU and Ireland doesn't do any of these (even metrification of drinks), and none of these are listed as reservations on the part of Ireland (which were only available to the founding members of the EU, of which Ireland is one).

So probably not required to join the EU, sadly.
