Sometimes in life you have to put up with the random traditional "Irish" band at some random "Irish" bar. There's usually the drunk fat guy on the guitar, the drunk skinny guy on the mandolin and the drunk guy with the gravel-throated vocals trying to sing. Then some  putz will say something like "U2 is the only Irish band that ever experienced some success." Next the band will try to play a U2 song, but fail because they have no talent outside of screaming like a drunken buffoon and raping the mandolin. Maybe they might try to play a Flogging Molly song, but that also sounds like shit because the vocals aren't gravel-throated enough and the band dresses worse than your grandfather on a Tuesday afternoon.

Now to the point. There is more than one successful Irish band, and they don't look or sound like this. They also don't sound like ex-mullet clad Bonos either. I'll give you a hint...they wrote the book on harmonized lead guitar...
