I believe the first relatively general law with regard to Irish marriages was the Marriages (Ireland) Act 1844.
An Act for Marriages in Ireland; and for registering such Marriages. [9 August 1844] 7 & 8 Vict. c.81

Yes indeed. I should note that it was this Act that started the Irish Civil Registration system.

     This specifically says it applies to England and Wales  ONLY.

Sometimes, quoting Wikipedia only confuses the issues, I find

No. The article specifically says England and Wales. There's nothing confusing about that.
