Great question indeed sor!\n\nThanks t' ye fer askin' and I'll try t'enlighten ye!\n\nIf you have a free Amazon account, you can  search each of the books below for the words "custom" or "folk" or "lore" or "folkways". You can read pages and page for free!\n\nFor example:\n\n"IT is a custom amongst the people, when throwing away water at night, to cry out in a loud voice, " Take care of the water"! \n\nEvery person who passes the spot where the body was found add a rock to the growing heap there...\n\n(first book)\n\nSlán leat! (goodbye!)

In most places in Ireland you could look after the wee'un, take it by the hand, look for parents in the vicinity and if none obvious bring it into the house, warm it up and give it a warm drink whilke you phonbed the Gardai. In the England I know you would definitely be reported and probably arrested. Even in the good ole USA they would not do that [I think?]

I assume you were looking for a serious answer....\n\nIreland is no different from any other Western country I have been to.  You place your napkin in your lap, you wait for your host or hostess to begin eating, you don't slurp your soup or belch or otherwise offend other diners. \n\nThe biggest difference between Ireland and the U.S. is the knife-and-fork-hand-switching thing. I don't think that represents a breach of etiquette, just a cultural difference. Hope this helps!

There are several Irish chat links available. Try for example www.irishchat.com. They offer chat rooms for Irish music, genealogy, and other things related to Ireland. Also, they have chat rooms for every Irish county, like www.donegalchat.com, www.wexfordchat.com, www.waterfordchat.com, www.corkchat.net  etc. However, you have to subscribe to these sites, as they want to provide a better service that way. You could also try www.finditireland.com/chat2.htm. This service is free. Have fun!
