Ireland, the land of ire. The Irish, or at least Oirish, counterpart to the Violent Glaswegian (when there's even any difference at all). Characters who are Irish or are of Irish descent are often portrayed as being fond of physical confrontation; even in a work where violence is typical, Irish characters will be especially eager for it. Being intoxicated and/or in a bar will often accentuate these tendencies. This can be played many ways. A good-natured Boisterous Bruiser who favors his fists is typical of many recent examples; boxing has a long history in Ireland and among Irish-Americans, and in recent years, Irish boxers have had success at the Olympic Games. Negative portrayals are more common the farther back you go. There are also pirates which include Anne Bonny and Grace O'Malley. More thuggish examples will often carry a shillelagh, a traditional knobby cudgel that has become a symbol of Irish culture as well as its violence. Even darker examples might be remorseless Blood Knights, tyrannical bullies, or terrorist psychopaths. If a Fighting Irishman is or was in the Irish Republican Army expect him to have at least a bit of the Mad Bomber thrown in. This may very slowly be becoming a Discredited Trope; while in the eighteenth century both the French and Spanish armies fielded expatriate "Irish Brigades," and nineteenth century Irish soldiers did indeed make up numbers of soldiers in the British and American armies (and are still allowed to join the British Army) times have moved on even if the stereotype hasn't. Ironically, Ireland is one of very few countries to become independent in the 20th century to have never been in an international war. During World War II it remained neutral and turned down a 1949 offer to join NATO. note Albeit not for reasons of neutrality, but because the Irish government at the time didn't want to be part of a defensive alliance with the United Kingdom given their continued hold of Northern Ireland. In fact, the Irish military has a good reputation as peacekeepers, as it isn't lost in places like Africa, and the Irish are one of the European countries that never went out creating colonial empires, having been a colonial holding themselves. This gives Irish soldiers trust and respect as part of any U.N. peacekeeping forces and helps explain why Irish troops are sought after for U.N. purposes. The island also has a low rate of violent crime by international standards; nevertheless, do Beware the Nice Ones. Mosty overlaps with Fiery Redhead, since Irish people are known to have red hair. A more violent, criminal version of this stereotype is The Irish Mob. Can also overlap with Hollywood New England and Southies since many people from Massachusetts, especially Boston, are of Irish descent. |

Hellblazer: His native Liverpool being at least as Irish as Boston in places, John Constantine probably counts, although he isn't really much of a scrapper, preferring to let cockney Chas or Violent Glaswegian Header handle that sort of thing. His girlfriend Kit has some boisterous friends, but they're more boozers than bruisers. | |

The Simpsons: In one of the St. Patrick's Day episodes, Springfield's Protestant and Catholic Irish populations remember how much they hate each other when they aren't allowed to drink. Cue orgy of violence. Another St. Patrick's Day episode, "Homer vs. The Eighteenth Amendment" where Bart inadvertently touches off a riot: In "I Am Furious (Yellow)", Springfield Elementary School budget is so low that they'd resorted to using Groundskeeper Willie and his archnemesis Groundskeeper Seamus as guest speakers. In the episode "The Day The Violence Died", Bart and Milhouse watch an old Itchy and Scratchy cartoon from The Silent Age of Animation, titled "Manhattan Madness." The cartoon features a segment in which "Itchy runs afoul of an Irishman." Despite the narration and Milhouse's reaction, the Irishman is a subversion, greeting Itchy with a friendly handshake and not even putting up any kind of fight when Itchy starts maiming him, not that this stops Itchy from killing the Irishman anyway. |

In Paddington 2, the prison cook - and apparently the meanest and toughest guy there - is a grouchy Irishman named Knuckles (or possibly Nuckel's) McGinty, portrayed by Brendan Gleeson. Naturally, Paddington's influence softens him up over the course of the story, revealing him to be a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. | |

Battlefield 1 features the story "Through Mud And Blood", in which a tank crew from all over the Isles get stranded behind German lines during World War One. The Irish gunner, McManus, is consistently the angriest and most belligerent member of the team, even almost deserting the team before loyalty to his fellow soldiers, if not necessarily Britain, brings him back. Given that the story is set in 1917, at the height of Ireland's war for independence from Britain, it's not much of a stretch to imagine that McManus wouldn't be all that committed to the imperial cause. | |

The King of Fighters: According to his bio in The King of Fighters '99, Krizalid's home country is Ireland. He also regularly wears a combat suit analyzing data to use in battle, and more importantly, is so much of an SNK Boss that SNK themselves apologized for making him too difficult. Oswald from The King of Fighters XI is also established to hail from Ireland. Despite his old age and implied disease, he is a talented hitman fully capable of using playing cards as knives and throwing them into skulls. |

In Young Cassidy (one of Ford's last films, finished by Jack Cardiff after Ford left the production due to illness), a riot breaks out at a performance of Sean O'Casey (aka "Jack Cassidy") play The Plough and the Stars. Cassidy waits in the lobby while inside the theater people are Produce Pelting his cast. He is met in the lobby by two drunk Irishmen who come in from the street specifically looking for a fight. When he accuses them of "creating a disturbance", one of them grins and says "Maybe just addin' to it." Cassidy then punches both of them out. | |

WWE: Finlay, who "loves to fight", embodied the fun-loving Boisterous Bruiser side of this trope, even as he knocked people out with his shillelagh. "The Celtic Warrior" Sheamus represented the more villainous side, as he is willing to inflict serious injuries through underhanded means. After his Heel–Face Turn, he's stopped using sneaky tactics and trying to cause permanent injuries, but he can still project serious menace when he wants. Fergal Devitt now known as "Finn Balor" is a more downplayed example. He doesn't seem to be particularly belligerent, and his Irish descent accentuates his fighting instead of being the reason for it. WWE Diva Becky Lynch, the "Lass Kicker", and first Smackdown Women's Champion, hails from Dublin, Ireland. Before her was the original Irish Lass Kicker, former women's champ Velvet McIntyre. |

Marvel Universe: Steve Rogers, better known as Captain America, was born to poor Irish immigrants. Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil is the biggest example of this trope in comics. The son of an Irish-American boxer, "Battlin' Jack" Murdock, Matt Murdock prowls the rooftops of Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood as Daredevil. He's an expert martial artist and boxer, and generally not someone you'd want to face in a fight. Matt is also portrayed as being devoutly Roman Catholic, another famous Irish cultural trait. Peter Parker, The Amazing Spider-Man, is Irish-American on his mother's side, and was a pretty angry kid in his early days. While he's since mellowed out and become one of the nicer heroes of the Marvel Universe, he still hands out asses on silver platters to anyone who harms his loved ones. "Knuckles" O'Toole of the Young Allies is Irish-American and The Big Guy of the group. It's right there in his (nick)name. |

In Fallout 4, the companion Cait is a Fiery Redhead with a Scot Ireland accent who is inexplicably in 200-years-post-apocalyptic Boston long after intercontinental travel is largely impossible (though given that it's set in Boston, the inexplicable part might be that she's the only character with that accent). She's a successful prize cage fighter who is sadly starting to succumb to Psycho addiction. Helping her get clean without killing herself is her personal quest. | |

Stephen has stated on multiple occasions that, if he had a Time Machine, he would challenge Oliver Cromwell to a bare-knuckle fistfight on the banks of the River Shannon because "he drove [his] people west of [the river] to farm on rocks and gravel!" |

Roark "Rocky" Rickaby and his cousin Calvin "Freckles" McMurray from the webcomic Lackadaisy both show shades of this. Ethnically, they are at the very least Irish-American, with Rocky possessing a slight brogue that is mostly seen when making use of various Irish idioms and phrases in his speech. In terms of fighting spirit, Rocky is never one to turn down a challenge and is a bit...fond of using fire at times while Freckles is more reserved and polite...at least until you hand him a gun. | |

The local Irish-American boss is introduced bare-knuckle boxing for fun, and Joseph Donnelly, the male lead, is a young, hot-headed Irish immigrant who brawls his brothers and ends up fighting for money. This is all contrasted with the upper-class Irish, who behave like typical European gentry. | |

One of the first sights that greets Peter and Brian when they arrive in the village is the McMurphy brothers, who've "been circling that same spot for 50 years, just daring each other to throw the first punch" (this was cut from the broadcast version). Parodied when Chris compares the gas induced by his mother's vegetables to an Irish Bar Brawl in his intestines; the Brussels sprout and broccoli argue with Irish accents and fight in front of a crowd of onlookers. |

Burn Notice: Ex-IRA fighter Fiona Glenanne is quick to recommend that any problem be solved by charging in with guns and bombs blazing, especially when it involves children being endangered. Her suggestions usually get shot down in favor of something less conspicuous, but when the firepower's needed Fi is always ready to provide. | |

Chief O'Brien from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine may be a Nice Guy, but he's also a war hero with a bit of a temper and he's not afraid to throw a punch to protect his friends. He and his BFF Julian Bashir also enjoy holosuite programs of historical battles like the Alamo and the Battle of Britain. | |
