Derry Girls is the first one that comes to mind. It gets heavy once or twice but is generally pretty cozy.

Derry Girls is excellent. It's part sitcom, part Irish culture, part history lesson. Great characters.
Sister Micheal is a treasure
She is hilarious and probably my favorite character. She and the priest from Derry Girls are on another show playing very different characters.
Where does that stream?
Use this site. Just tore the show name and only your country. It will tell you where you can steam it.
These things move around. I saw it on Netflix but that was a couple of years ago. Iβd start there anyway.
I liked "Moone boy" With Chris O'Dowd
I second Moone Boy!
Padraic is the most precious sweetbabyangel.
Have you ever considered Father Ted?
Oh, go on
Father ted
When I read your post and thought "Do we have any other good Irish sitcoms outside of Father Ted and Derry Girls?", I done some research and found this Irish Independent article listing their top 12 Irish sitcoms, and I'm now laughing away at how the article itself basically shite-talks the first 6 or so shows that they chose! π€£
As a footnote, I really need to watch "Moone Boy" some year.
Excellent find, Lemming
My Hero isn't actually Irish, but it does star Ardal O'Hanlon (Father Dougal) for almost its entire run, so it may scratch the itch.
similar with 'the it crowd' - co-stars an irish actor and is written by graham linehan
quite a funny show, in which you'll learn nothing more about IT other then turning a computer off and then on again to solve 99.9% of problems
The mammy. It grates after a while, but it is funny. Most of the cast are all from the same family, often playing parts that donβt match their real life relationship.
