In my area i dont really have anything above 93 octane. So unless ireland registers octane differently im sure you will be fine.

Ireland does not use the same octane system as the US.

Stick with the 99 unless you plan to never drive hard.

Yeah, the U.S. uses what...R + M/2 for the octane rating. And about the highest we can get anymore is 91 - 93.

Injector failure? How would the octane of gas factor into that?

It would not cause injector failure, but it would cause engine failure.
