NO land -- island or continent -- goes "all the way to the center of the earth." The earth's crust, on which both land and ocean exist, float on a sea of magma, and slide around bumping, grinding, and running into each other. This is plate tectonics.
There is no such thing as an "island" that floats on the water. Islands are just crust that is high enough to be above sea level -- they are all attached to the sea floor. And so is Ireland.

All islands are attached to the oceans floor and therefore go to the center of the earth.

There's no island or continent that goes to the center of the earth. They all float on top of the liquid magma. Even the ocean bed floats on liquid magma. :

Actually all land "floats" on the earths core. India for example was once an Island. Fortuanately (I guess) it happens so slowly, over the course of millions of years, that we don't notice it
