'ausgerechnet' and 'ironischerweise' both express that something is unexpected or surprising. 'ausgerechnet' is often used when something is especially inconvenient and you are annoyed or surprised by it. It emphasizes: this particular person, place, or time is surprising. 'ironischerweise' is used when a situation seems like a contradiction or matches exactly what you would not have expected. The words can be confused because both show surprise. As a guide: 'ausgerechnet' sounds more personal and often more annoyed; 'ironischerweise' tends to describe a paradoxical situation.
