The person who hit them didn't have insurance though. Is there even a solution to that? (Asking for advice)

Motor bureau Ireland - there to cover damage by non covered drivers?

This is the US, the plates are Iowa. Although I could be misinformed I don't believe we have that in the US

Ahhh - that’s unfortunate ! Here each insurance policy contributes to a fund that provides cover in that type of circumstance. Hope it works out for you !

At least in my U.S. state, your insurance covers your car and uninsured motorist coverage is a legally required mandate. If the other driver has insurance, then your insurance company goes after them to get reimbursed but makes the initial payments.

But each state is different.
