I'm Irish, so I'll break it down for you.
Mostly Irish people go to pubs, bars or Nightclubs. We drink, we chat up whoever we like the look of, hopefully we go home with them / they come home with us / we have a drunken smooch and a grope in bar, pub or nightclub, or area nearby. This may be followed with exchange of phone numbers once it's time to part company, either that night or the following morning. Then it's a case of one calling the other. If still interested then the other will either answer the call and arrange to meet up again or ignore the phone call. If the latter happens leave a message, don't keep ringing, you will just be provoking an awkward situation that will serve neither party well.
There are probably Irish people who will disagree, and say that doesn't apply to them, but they will generally concede that this is the most common process.
It is pretty similiar in Scotland, Wales and England, from my experience.
The American dating style might be creeping in, in a small way, but certain aspects can freak some of us out a bit. Such as a stranger walking up sober and asking for our phone number, at least when we are sober anyway, if we've been drinking we'll probably try to talk you into action right there and then.

The Celtic church he helped to found remained largely independent until the Synod of Whitby in 664, after which it became subordinate to Rome. Only after that date could it be called Roman Catholic. Even that is a doubtful term, as it was before the Great Schism. The term Catholic is often used retrospectively to refer to the Roman Branch of the church, as well as the more general Catholic (not specifically Roman) to refer to a number of churches. So, the jargon is flexible and unspecific, compared to the modern sense. It would be a long stretch to call Patrick a Catholic; Romano-Celtic Christian would be more accurate. Edit: "I think Patrick considered himself simply a Christian" Sure, but we should consider him that as Ireland wasn't a coherent cultural entity, the whole archipelago being a hotch-potch of cultures and tribes. This was the Sub-Roman period when nation states didn't really exist. Romano-Celt would be the most useful ethnic description. Possibly Brythonic/Cymraic more specifically.

One Irish dating custom is the gift of a "Claddagh" ring. A Claddagh is a type of ring which features two hands holding a heart with a crown on top. Each of these three things is a symbol: the hands represent the friendship of love, the heart is a symbol of shared love and the crown on top is a symbol of loyalty to your love.
