There really is no such thing as "Irish Roman Catholicism" except to the degree that Irish culture is different than American culture or British or Spanish or French or African or German culture. The teachings of the universal Catholic Church are the same, worldwide, regardless of one's nationality. The Mass, for example, is the same in France as it is in Russia or the US or Poland or Nigeria. The cultural aspects (i.e., music, garments, statues/icons, some holy days) may, and actually do, differ from nation to nation, culture to culture. That's a good thing. The Catholic Faith, however, is the same the world over.

What is the main difference between roman Catholic and Irish Catholic?
There is no "Roman Catholicism" except, perhaps, Catholicism as practiced by a native of Rome, Italy. It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. Similarily, there is no "Irish Catholicism" except, again, perhaps Catholicism as practiced by the Irish. There is only one Catholic Church, which has the same set of beliefs for all its members the world over. That being said, if you want to know about the cultural differences between Catholicism as practiced in Ireland and that in Rome, there was an old saying when I was growing up, "Rome makes the laws, but the Irish keep them." There was a lot of truth in that. Ireland, for many years provided missionaries for the entire world. The Irish converted Europe, for years sent priests and nuns to Africa and America. Rome is just a city in Italy, but their Catholicism is wrapped up with the Pope, as the Vatican is in Rome, and they can go see the Vatican and the Pope at any time. Sadly, most differences are dissolved in the post-modern relativism. Catholicism is practically moribund in Ireland and Italy at this point, although Rome still has the Vatican and the Holy Father. But both civilizations are falling to modern errors and modern sins, and both are starting to look more than a little Muslim and their Catholicism has gone by the way, in a great many cases.
