Apparently this is an Irish dish. But have never heard of it and would like to know what it contains.

It's actually spelt Dirsheen, and it's similar to black pudding. They stuff blood, milk, salt, fat and breadcrumbs into the animal's intestine (sheep or pig) and cook it.

Drisheen is an Irish black pudding, made from a mixture of pig's or sheep's blood, milk, salt, fat and breadcrumbs and cooked as a sausage using the main intestine of an animal (typically a pig or sheep) as the sausage skin. The sausage may be flavoured with herbs, such as Tansy.
In Cork and Limerick, it is often paired with tripe. In Limerick the dish is known as "Packet & Tripe". The town of Clonakilty in West Cork is (at least according to many of the town's people and businesses) world-famous for its black pudding.
Drisheen is mentioned in James Joyce's "Ulysses" and "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man".
