Although located in Scotland, McCartney’s “Mull Of Kintyre” might be another good one.

Excellent suggestions all, to which I'll add this mainstay of my own Irish repertoire (better known for Celtic Woman's cover):

I’ve seen this before and it’s incredible. There’s a whole series of them.

The Rattlin' Bog is a great jig that always gets people stomping their feet.

DO NOT play Isn't it Grand Boys (Clancy Brothers)

DO PLAY Wild Rover - the crowd can have fun playing singing along and clapping...

Listen to 'The Leaving of Liverpool' by the Dubliners. That's a great song which starts slowly and builds up to a rousing chorus.

A very mellow and beautiful song is 'Jock Stewart', which has been played by many Irish bands, including the Tannahill Weavers and even the Pogues.

If you're up for an instrumental, Mason's Apron is one of my favourites.
