you can try
$ wget -6 ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/...


http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.pdf
prefer family = IPv4/IPv6/none
            When given a choice of several addresses, connect to the
addresses with speci-
            fied address family first. IPv4 addresses are preferred by
default. The same as
            ‘--prefer-family’, which see for a detailed discussion of
why this is useful.
