I agree with pattyClink and Len Wallace, though I had broken the types down into 1.Whiskey 2.Love and 3.Fighting/Stealing/Pulling Pranks. (Not necessarily in that order of importance.)I'm trying to put together a CD of the songs you have suggested, plus some O'Carolan and other instrumentals, and that should cover most things. What I'll actually sing and play myself is yet to be seen.

To Dave Bryant: It seems to me a great many of the college students I see have already had partial lobotomys, (or more), so I'll let you know how they are after a semester of Irish Studies! U.K folk, feel free to chastise him yourself, I'm not good with words.
