not all of them are really 'Irish' rather more Celtic in general, but some bands worth checking out:
flatfoot 56(great band)
the mahones(another good one)
mainstreet saints
the Tossers
McGillicuddy's
Morgan knockers
Mr.Irish Bastard
Neck(great band)
The Real Mckenzies
Street dogs(old lead singer of Dropkick murphys, not exactly Celtic but has the feel)

as for some more 'tradition' Irish music u can check out a few of my favorites:
the dubliners
the pogues
Irish decedents

^^probably my top three.

holy fuck.

i saw them Thursday night with the brains. they were great live, but i was pretty sick already so wasn't very active.

they are a good band though, GREAT fiddle player and a pretty talented mandalin player as well.
