Research direction
Start by reading the time module implementation and investigating how its timezone constants represent negative daylight-saving time, using Ireland as the example. The issue provides no file or test location, so first identify the relevant implementation and existing timezone tests; done means the constants accurately reflect this case without regressing other supported versions.
