Joan Lingard wrote a couple of teen books about 'the Troubles'. There's also No Bones by Anna Burns - also covers The Troubles. Roddy Doyle has written the Barrytown trilogy based in Dublin.

I remember reading a book callede Jig, years ago, brilliant. But it was probably 15 years ago, don't know if you could still get it.
I wonder if the film 'the wind that shakes the barley' was taken from a book, but thats all about the foundation of the Irish Free State, so would be worth a read.
