All the main cities and towns are covered as well as many smaller villages and rural areas. It is surprising how far the Tesco delivery vans  will go.
If you register  here on the Tesco IE Website you can find out if your address is covered.

After you register – just click on the “Start Shopping” link an dif your address is covered in the delivery area – you will be able to continue shopping.
You can also register at one address and have shopping delivered to another addresses – such as a holiday home or a relatives address.

The online Tesco Store Locator never seems to be working. It seems you have to register with Tesco before it will work .  You Can Register Here
