New Zealand driving license relevant here?

Question is in the title I suppose. I had a full Irish driving license in Ireland before I left for New Zealand and got it converted there. Do I have to swap it back over now as I am home?

Yes. As it is a recognised country, you can exchange it for an Irish one.

If you are a holder of a licence issued by one of the above states you can drive in Ireland for up to 1 year when visiting, providing your licence is valid. If you become normally resident in Ireland, you should exchange your driving licence or begin the process of applying for an Irish driving licence.
