found this on ebay. seems like a global shipping program
The Global Shipping Programme is an easy way for business and private sellers to reach millions more buyers with minimal changes to your current processes. This new programme is designed for sellers who don’t currently offer international postage on their listings. Benefits include:

• You simply send your sold items to a UK address - the international postage and paperwork (where applicable) is all handled for you.
  
• We show international postage costs on your listings and communicate these to your buyers.
  
• We’ll include any customs or import charges in what your non-EU buyers pay upfront.
  
• Postage with an international tracked service from the UK Shipping Centre to your buyer.
  
• Once your item has arrived safely to the UK Shipping Centre, we’ll protect you from any delivery-related defects against your seller standard.
  

The Global Shipping Programme works by automatically showing international postage costs on your eligible listings to prospective buyers in other countries at no additional cost to you. Your items will be available to buyers from selected EU and non-EU countries.
Eligible accounts will be automatically enrolled into the Global Shipping Programme from September 2014 onwards. You’ll be notified in advance by email and you’ll have the option to opt-out if you don’t think it’s for you.
Here's how it works:

• We’ll notify eligible sellers when listings are being enrolled into the Global Shipping Programme.
  
• International postage charges are automatically shown on your listings and paid in advance by your buyer. You only pay for postage costs to the UK Shipping Centre, where your parcel will be processed for international delivery.
  
• When one of your items sells, you simply post it to the UK Shipping Centre using your usual postage service. The address is automatically provided as the ‘Post-to’ address for the order. The address includes a unique identifier code. This is so the UK Shipping Centre can identify your item - always include this code on your address label.

Isn't that the address for ebays Global Shipping Program? Seems you may have opted into the program for international postage items.

Does stuff posted to Ireland use this normally?

Nothing dodgy here - that's the address for eBay's own shipping centre for their Global Shipping Program.

You send there, eBay send on to Ireland - presumably the Irish Republic, otherwise the GSP wouldn't apply.

EDIT - 2 posts in while I was writing mine!

If so, you'd think that they would have their own address confirmed.

The requirement for an address to be confirmed was removed many years ago, all that is needed is that paypal say the address is 'OK to send to'. Assuming it is that then there is full seller protection.

OP take a look at the sticky thread, it explains seller protection and postage.

EDIT: I know we all have a downer on paypal and ebay generally, but we can only stay safe if we actually understand the rules. If this is OK to send, and buyer decides to pull out on the basis of misinformation on a forum, he is likely to get a defect at the very least. A handful of defects and wave goodbye to their ebay account. Then we get the threads 'ebay pulled my account for no reason and are evil' threads.

If you look on the Paypal transaction, there's the buyer's name and a reference number. Make sure these are on the package.

But yes, fine to send there, I've sold dozens of items via this and never had an issue.

Already answered by soolin but going back a few years my address used to swap between confirmed and unconfirmed. No idea why and sellers never queried it.

Actually, and as I've mentioned before, my main PayPal account keeps going unconfirmed for some reason.
