I grew up in a predominantly Irish neighborhood in NYC with a large immigrant population from Ireland. My neighborhood was notable for the bars on every corner, for the men who would spend most of their paychecks there until their wives came to try to drag them home on Friday night, for the little kids who used to wait outside for their mothers to retrieve those dads, for the police coming to haul away the men that were causing a commotion by beating their wives,  and for the kids my age who proudly said that they  wanted to grow up to be just like their dads.

What I associate most with our wee country is: great craic, music, literature, a world of beautiful countryside, lively cities, amazing people, a little magical part of the world where anybody can find a warm reception and a hot/cool drink awaiting them oh and of course irish stew on a cold winters night, yummy potato bread, not forgetting guiness, baileys, and all our other fine drinks!
