what is the Irish way of life?

Answer 1

I'd suggest reposting this question in the Ireland section, you'll get a lot more responses.
Also go to online book stores and do a search for Irish "way of life" and you get a dozen or so books that discuss the topic.

This question is far too broad reaching to be answered in a few paragraphs. Perhaps you could narrow down your interests and ask specific questions regarding the Irish culture. Best of luck to you.
