The date was April 10th 1943. I have already checked Radtke's book on KG54. He gives for that date: "Morgens & abends Agriffe Raum S. Kairouan + Seeauklärung Dreieck Tunis - Sardinien - Pantelleria"
(In the morning & the evening: attacks in the area south of Kairouan + maritime reconnaissance in the triangle Tunis, Sardinia & Pantelleria)
The KG 54 loss list in that book gives Uffz Müller lost at sea in the Kairouan area in his Ju 88 B3-BH that day.
The same Leistungsbuch where this extract is coming from gives in the morning the following flight:
"Ziele bei Fonduk "
(Targets near Fonduk)

I tried Googling for Ireaga and Irnaga but came up empty handed.

I don't think so. As far as I know my German the entry reads:
Mission: Flak & trucks near
?????. Bombs on target.
Fires were seen at the scene.
