Yes maps need to be viewed with caution.
Posting some of my favourite Galway girls. These are all from the Gaeltacht. The Galway Gaeltacht covers extensive parts of County Galway mainly in the west of the County, and is the single largest and most populous Gaeltacht area in the country.

Yeah, well, shit happens
Well, hers, my mother was the Irish Catholic one whereas he was pretty much a product of his generation(boomer: 40's, 50's baby) and Lutheran in name and baptism only. He wasn't loyal and Irish women are not the kind that take kindly to such humiliation and rightly so, also the temperament was different, she was absolutely miserable in Denmark and missed her mother greatly, she was one of 12 children, so she was way more family oriented as the Irish are known to be. It became too much to bear. With me being born to an Irish Catholic woman and their ability at raising boys to be devoted tit clutchers early, I always sided with her so my choice was an easy one. America here we come. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't influenced by my early beginings. My mother's side often pointed out how cold, quirky and odd, I seemed. I still stare at strangers(which Danes don't mind but Americans loathe) and my humor's a bit more blue. I picked up some habits from ma's side as well, so I only seem to get me these days.
Somehow, I fail to see how that's a good thing.
Far from accurate; Spain and France, for instance, are by no means more practicing than the Irish, especially today. Ireland's barely caught up with their "progressivism". Much like Sweden and Denmark call themselves Lutheran, those two are largely Catholic in name only.

I appreciate Andrea Corr because she plays the Irish tin whistle and piano like myself. As a child I enjoyed learning and playing both instruments, but as a teenager I didn't think it was cool playing on my Irish tin whistle in front of teens in my peer group because none of the kids at school played it and it wasn't seen as cool, but thankfully Andrea has made the Irish tin whistle acceptable and cool.

I've noticed this with both Irish men and Irish females.
I noticed several years ago that Irish men have a certain gleam and sparkle in their eyes that's very unique to the Irish. An Irish friend of mine agreed with my observation about Irish eyes.
I was walking some dogs in a park yesterday and encountered a friendly Irish man with very similar little freckles and pale skin to myself. I find them very friendly people and I didn't feel tense when he stopped to take a rest and sat next to me with his dog on a park bench and smiled and started talking. I'd briefly encountered him the previous day walking his dog and he was there with his son.
I also often see a friendly Irish woman with her adorable and cute little dog in the park too who often stops to talk to people. She also makes me smile too.
Irish people (both men and women) have a friendly aura about them that just makes people feel comfortable and relaxed. It's very easy to make good and long-lasting friendships with them.
When my mum went on a holiday trip to County Kerry, she said the Irish people were the most friendliest and welcoming people ever (and she's visited lots of nations around the globe.)

Plenty of famous models, actresses, etc, are posted on threads about females of other ethnic groups.... and also with pictures of handsome men too. Nobody complains.
The thread asked for nice Irish females... so what kind of females did you want to see?
There's nothing wrong with posting famous people whose pictures aren't stolen from facebook and whose photos are in the media and public domain.
Everyone else posts models in the threads on Albanians, Romanians, Croatians, Slavs, Balkanites, Russians, Latinos, etc. They're not posting large crowds of the everyday people there on those threads.

There is something in their eyes(which I didn't get.) I am pretty friendly but there's nothing warm about my face. I sort of have somewhat of a perpetual frown which is something people like to attribute to Germanic people.
They have a knack for it, and they've spread it beyond, even Irish Americans are known for being chatter boxes. I once got chatted up by this one Aussie while abroad, wanted a smoke from me and after he lit it, he just began to talk. Name was: O'Shea, knew he was Irish by looking at the face alone.
Amazing companions, none of my aunts has ever been divorced and Jeremy Irons himself has had Sinead by his side for nigh on 50 years
Agreed. Hospitable even in the diaspora. I reckon that's been the most effective weapon used against them. It truly makes me happy when I hear of how much warmer relations between the English and Irish are now because, I was surrounded by some great-uncles that were just bitter bastards, hillarious and a good laugh but simply bitter. Felt like a traitor for being so fond of England but they exported everything I liked as a youngster from musicians to writers, humourists and poets. They'll both have a greater chance at persevering if they bare in mind their kinship and proximity above troubles of yore.

I agree with the comments about Irish people lighting up a room and such.
When I visited Ireland I was amazed at how friendly and talkative everyone I encountered was. They reminded me a bit of Southern Americans in that regard.
