Currently, none of the supported transformations for OSGB36 cover the Republic nor Northern Ireland. TM65_To_WGS_1984_2 is probably the best choice for conversion to WGS84 as the older transformations have no known accuracy values. 

You can find out about supported transformations in ArcGIS in [technical article 21327][1]. 

If the data's offshore, there's a transformation from OSGB36 to ED50 and you could then piece together other transformations. Accuracies are several meters.

You might check the online [EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset][2] to see if they have any other options. Note: I'm on the subcommittee that maintains the dataset.
