My keyboard entry mode says it's Irish, but isn't

  • 772

As of today,

  • Shift+2 gives me the @ symbol and Shift+' gives me ". (The at sign and the double quotation mark have swapped places.)
  • Alt Gr+4 no longer produces the € symbol.

This tells me that my keyboard has switched to some non-Irish mode, probably American. And yet, up at the top right of my screen I see an Ie, and if I click on it I see that the Irish option, which is the only option, is selected. What gives?

The keyboard layout chart shows much as I’d expect, with the ", @, and € symbols where I’d expect to see them:

Keyboard layout chart: Title says "Irish"

And the text entry settings also show Irish as the only available option:

Import sources to use: Irish

So if everything tells me that I have an Irish keyboard, and if it worked as an Irish keyboard till yesterday, why is it suddenly not an Irish keyboard today? And what can I do about it?
