Since your code is not reproducible (and not readable since it is in
HTML - see the posting guide), I can't comment further than saying that:
library(mapdata)
map("worldHires","Ireland")
box()
seems to me to do what you want, so are you using a different version of
box()? If it is not what you want. you need to be more explicit.
