This is a Steatoda nobilis, a False Noble Widow. Looks like you have plenty of them there in Ireland:)

Thanks for clarifying Vonpaulus. After reading up on them, I’m not so worried 🙂

There’s nothing to worry about when it comes to false widows; their venom is not dangerous to humans and they won’t try to bite you unless you press them, as you probably know by now 🙂
