Can you expand on why you believe this to be true? It's different to how I see it.If he wishes to claim UK domicile, he would have to move to the UK and stay there permanently

His original domicile is UK. If it is to change to anything other than UK domicile then he has to show that he intends to live permanently in Ireland (in this case) and definitely does not intend to return to the UK. He still has much of his wealth in the UK. We haven't all the information to decide if he intends to live permanently in Ireland - really only he knows that, ( and then there are some facts that either support it - e.g friend and family ties, UK pension or make it more questionable.)
I'm sure there are professionals out there who will assess all his facts and confirm that he hasn't yet officially changed his domicile from UK - he can then defend any questions that arise from revenue if they do (given he's previously filled it in as Irish domiciled)

Apologies - I'm not sure how, but I mistakenly read that his father was from UK - hence my post.The question posed by the OP was whether Mr X could claim to be UK domiciled.
See this, which outlines UK case law – Irish case law is similar.
The principal factors in determining domicile of choice are firstly, residence in the new jurisdiction and secondly, an intention to reside there permanently.
The case law in the above link shows the evidence, which might be sought to support Mr. X’s claim.
It is then up to Mr X to decide whether his claim is worth pursuing.
