This is not Irish English. One would only hear this from an American actor inaccurately imitating an Irish accent. Hence perhaps the misconception here. The form used in this instance would be "it isn't". That is pronounced "tidn't".

Unsourced usage note moved here from entry: "For reasons that are unclear, it seems that in American popular culture, this contraction has come to be associated with Irish English." Equinox 05:00, 10 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
