I have a similar idea wherein you just change S for N in the case of the latitudes of Australia, New Zealand, and Antarctica and then I keep the longitudes. (BTW, this is part of my altered Earth.)
It depends on the topography and size. A few 'Tenerifes' would not make a difference even with a Mount Teide, whereas a larger flatland similar to Ireland would just amplify the maritime effects...
No joking aside I know there are hills and high cliffs on the west side but apart from that Ireland doesn't offer much of a hindrance for maritime winds to steam across, hence the extreme maritime climates of Liverpool and Blackpool for example, since the maritime air rolls through unimpeded. Flatland was perhaps an unfortunate choice of wording, but as it is climatologically Ireland is pretty much a flatland with only a slight drop of rainfall from side to side.
