This page is ranking on Google Ireland for the keyword "via**a connect". It doesn't seem to have any backlinks, or at least none that ahrefs is showing. Any ideas?

It's the first page of the serp that sells the actual product.

Yeah it's a high authority domain with big traffic and a much bigger budget than my client. Maybe hidden backlinks.
