I think Roche only ever rode one Vuelta (1992) and didn't win a stage.

Kelly rode the Giro once and didn't win a stage, Roche rode the Vuelta once but didn't win a stage .

After the 1988 Vuelta the 3 grand tours titles were all held by Irishmen

According to the Philip Deignan article in the current Cycle Sport, it lists Shay Elliott as the only Irish winner of stages in all 3 races.

Wikipedia does not mention Martin Earley as a Vuelta stage winner:
