Up to the beginning of this year, Ireland has paid £67 million in interest payments to the U.K. on that loan.

As AC says above, it made sound economic sense for the UK to assist in the bailout programme seeing as exports to the ROI are worth £27 Bn annually to the British economy. A busted Ireland would have implications for the British greater good; a country to which it exports more than it does to the four BRIC countries together.
