I'm sure I'm showing my ignorance, but ... what else is there besides corned beef & cabbage, which I like and has always been our St. Paddy's Day meal.
A six pack and a potato?
The craic was ninty.
Mighty!
Mom grew up on a farm with no plumbing or electricity. All cooking over an open fire. My first visit in 1978, Uncle Jimmy showed me the new water heater-a boiler on the side of the turf stove.
Mom never heard of corned beef until she arrived here. Our St. Patricks Day dinner was always (still is) Boiled Dinner. As Menzies says ham, spuds, carrots, onions and cabbage. Always the cup of tea!

And PLEASE don't be eating any corned beef and cabbage - it's as Irish as a burrito!
I had shepherd's pie for lunch and (gulp ) corned beef and cabbage for dinner. If I drank plenty of Guinness, too, am I forgiven?

PS: potatoes in Ireland are always served in their skins; you'll have the difficult job of peeling off the skins when they're on your plate!
Actually you eat the skins.
"Skins an' awl" is a popular saying.
So long as you didn't like the corned beef and were just trying to be Irish for the day!
