Many Irish are talkative, inquisitive about people and places, helpful, open, good company, interested in sport, etc etc. they tend to hate saying "no" to your face, so they are notoriously indirect when it comes to criticism, rejection etc. time keeping is often seen as a very honourable aspiration but nobody really expects an eight o'clock meeting to start at eight! definitely philosophical about life the universe and all of that. and, like anywhere else, some of us are just plain boring!!

The previous answer was an incorrect and baseless stereotype. Though blue eyes are the most common, only around 10% of Irish have red hair, and around 40% have some sort of freckling.

The most common physical traits would be a naturally pale complexion, blue eyes, and medium to dark brown hair.

Well the red hair is kind of a myth, only about 4% of the Irish population have red hair. For the most part the Irish have brown or almost black hair with very fair skin.
The following traits are dominant in modern Irish people: medium brown and dark brown hair, pale skinned and freckled to some extent (40%), blue eyes or light mixed colour eyes (blue-brown). The dark brown is sometimes called "black" in a European context.

A peely-wally complexion, glaikit countenance, ginger hair, green-eyes, bowelly legs, and a wistful expression. The above is Scots dialect for: "A pale complexion, a stupid or foolish look on the face, red hair, green eyes, strong?? legs and a wistfull expression."

Irish often have red hair, or very dark brown hair. They often have fair complexions with freckles. However, there are many other Irish people that look nothing like this.
