What are the uilleann pipes?

Yes, the Irish play bagpipes, as found in Scotland. There are many pipe bands in Ireland that use them. However, the Irish also have their own form of bagpipes called the Uilleann pipes. These use a bellows controlled by the arm, rather than blowing into them. They are more associated with traditional Irish music, and have a different sound to the bagpipes that are associated with Scotland.
