Explanation

The Gooseberry (Ribes uva-crispa, syn. R. grossularia)
is a species of Ribes, native to Europe, northwestern Africa and southwestern Asia. These plants are derived from garden stock: it is not native to Ireland. However this spiny shrub is frequent in hedgerows in many parts of lowland Northern Ireland.
An Irish mother would explain to her kids that a newborn baby was found in the cabbages or in the gooseberry bushes.
