if you're interested in that sort of music a really good website, and an online radio station, is www.shitenonions.com they cover tons of irish punk bands. they sell some cd's and have links to tons of bands. check it out. some of my favorites are the pogues, blood or whiskey, st. bushmills choir, the dolomites(their old stuff), the peelers, neck, and the real mckenzies -anarchofiddler
