It looks like a product of the Tianjin Songlin Musical Instrument Factory. There are a few similarities with their accordion products. They also produce many concertinas badged with familiar names. (Among a wide range of other instruments, too.)

The name "Tara" is a marketing gimmick. It's aimed at the Irish music market.
This is the connection.
Saltarelle also do a "Tara" and I'm sure there are others.
That same box will no doubt have other brand names aimed at different markets.
Billy McComiskey is associated with such an instrument... not sure if this is it.

There is a chinese accordion marked her with the name "Cotati" on it. It appears to be trying to use the accordion festival in that town as a marketing tie in.
