Time for Kids has a great page with facts about Ireland which contains curriculum-relevant vocabulary such as population, capital, currency, climate, agriculture, and industries. You can find the page here at http://www.timeforkids.com/destination/ireland. This sheet would make for a great discussion regarding vocabulary and life on the Emerald Isle. Additionally, you can have your students compare and contrast many of the items listed above with facts about the United States using a graphic organizer such as this.
For a little extra fun, introduce a few common Irish expressions. Have the students match each expression to its meaning by using the context of the sentence.
Enjoy!
