It seems very positive in general. One video in Dublin and one in Galway.

Some of the stuff she says about the Irish is spot on.

The Irish are currently in vogue in the US. They have defeated the WASP.
American humor is basically Jewish and Irish Catholic.

That reminds me of this quote by Brendan Behan.
"Other people have a nationality. The Irish and the Jews have a psychosis."
I'm trying to find something Billy Connolly also said about the Irish and the Jews having the best humour but I can't find that one at the moment.
I did find this and it created a lot of anger from Scots which I can understand because I do think Scots have a great sense of humour.

Besides the natural affinity, Americans are big tourist bucks for Ireland. That makes us a welcome guest.

“The other reason we’re keen to keep tapping into the North American market is because there's a very warm and strong disposition to Ireland amongst US consumers. That's hugely encouraging for us, because our American visitors are the big spenders. They tend to tour the various regions and spend a significant number of days in Ireland, so they're a very valuable market and it was a fantastic result to see that they returned in such solid numbers last year.”
