Travelling to the Ireland for non-EU Nationals holding EU Blue Card

Do non-EU nationals holding a valid EU Blue Card (issued by Germany) require a visa to enter Ireland?

Exemptions to the requirement to have a visa for short stay visits to Ireland

Holders of travel documents issued by Germany ("blue documents") in accordance with Article 28 of the Geneva Convention.

So, I'm not sure if "blue documents" here refers or includes the EU Blue Card or is it something completely different?

(Please add an "EU-Blue-Card" tag to the question if you have enough reputation. Thanks.)
