Do you mean bands that use Irish instrumentation or bands that are actually from Ireland?

STIFF LITTLE FINGERS
THE UNDERTONES

RUNNIN' RIOT
SKINT

Considering Punk12 named the Dropkicks and Flogging Molly I think s/he(?) meant "Irish influence", not specifically bands from Ireland. Bet Shinobi has a good list of Irish bands, though.

Actually, smartypants, Punk12 posted "Floogy Molly" which is now the name of my new band. ;)

haha floogy molly :). Hexa gave a good list there although the Real MacKenzies are Scottish punk not Irish. (All the same says you! :D) They are good though.
Yeah so listen to Blood or Whiskey if you're into that kind of music. I'm not mad into it myself... the Pogues are ok but they're more punk in attitude than in music.

Some modern Dublin punk bands:

20 Bulls Each - Icon.mp3 - Soapbox Growler.mp3
Stomach Inc. - Substantive.mp3 - Lifes Halt.mp3
The Steam Pig - Fail Your Bloodtest - Motorhead @ 5am

SHINOBI, right on. It's true that over here Irish and Scottish tend to "blend", both musically and literally with heritage. Plus, most of the 'Irish' bands play Scottish highland bagpipes, not the Uilleann pipes. IMO, it’s really a blend of Celtic-American cultures and Punk, but is called Irish by default.
