[Bug 1880402] Re: timezone for Dublin is incorrect in installer

I experienced this too.
During the installation - the time presented for Dublin _was_ offset by one hour from London, despite sharing the same UTC offset and DST dates.
Additionally, the map highlighed the wrong areas.
I went with London like the OP.

Post installation, switching to Dublin resulted in the same apparent
time as London, but the graphic was still wrong.

I wonder if this stems from the fact that "Irish Standard Time" is
abbreviated "IST", which is known to alias with the abbreviation IST
from several other timezones?

Title:
  timezone for Dublin is incorrect in installer

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I tried choosing  Lisbon since then the time zone would be correct,
  but that meant my calendar was in portuguese and it had portuguese
  holidays marked on it. Finally settled on London but this is not ideal
  as we do not share many holidays. When I say installer i mean when
  installing a new Focal Fossa through a live USB
