To keep it traditional, you can't go wrong by just throwing a bunch of root vegetables and your meat of choice in a slow cooker. Lamb is traditional, but lean beef cubes, or even diced chicken can work. Potatoes, carrots, onions, etc. Add some barley, celery, peas, and/or maybe even mushrooms and you're off. Whisk in just a bit of cornstarch to thicken. Salt/pepper to taste.
Another option that may be a little "healthier" is a ground turkey/cabbage stew. Again with carrots, potatoes, onion. Or maybe a shepherd's pie. Lots of good stuff!0 -

We are having one at work next week as well and I have NO ideas. It's on Friday on top of it and I am Catholic so I would like to bring something that is meat-less!0

Chop up cabbage and fry with a bit of oil, bacon, and onions. For St Patrick's day, I plan to make this and add boiled new potatoes with a couple cuts in them to the pan while the cabbage is cooking as well (the corned beef will be in the crock pot )0

I have corned beef and cabbage in the oven right now!
I also just made "irish soda bread" flax muffins....with currants, caraway and a little Guinness...
But one thing I really love, that we make often, is Rachael Ray's Smoky Turkey Shepherds Pie. Delicious and lean. We actually make it with mashed cauliflower, which is even more so.0 -
Shepherd's pie!
Shepherds pie isn't really a quintisentially Irish dish. I'm sure they do eat it regularly in Ireland but It is more an English dish. For more Irish recipes check out:

Someone posted on recipes a stuffed cabbage crock-pot dish that sounded really good.0 -
Isn't Corned beef and cabbage an exclusively Irish-American dish? I did not think it was typically served in Ireland.0

Irish "Nachos" (made with potatoes instead of chips).

I haven't tried this exact recipe, but it gives you the idea. Everyone loves these and you can add or leave out whatever you want. You can even lighten them by using low fat cheese and sour cream and adding extra veggies. The main trick is to get the potatoes right- I slice and roast mine in the oven first. Yum!0 -
Bangers and mashed potatos. Hubby is from Ireland and he'd prefer that over corned beef and cabbage day.0

They're ALWAYS after 'em!! But they're MINE! MINE I TELL YOU0 -
This isn't really Irish but I always make 'Irish' nachos for St Pats parties. You just top fries with cheese, jalapenos, green onion & crumbled bacon... they go fast.
Corned beef & cabbage is a US thing, I always make that too...
I love colcannon you can google it, lot's of recipes out there.0 -

No, we;re not big on corned beef but we do 'bubble and squeak' which is boiled ham and cabbage, the corned beef thing I assume is a bastardisation that happened when we moved to the US...Nobody really eats that though, I mean it's traditional Irish but not very common. Irish stew, beef and Guinness pie, anything with potatoes are all traditional.....
ETA to add, proper mashed potatoes, not the kind from a box. Every time I go to the US I find it nearly impossible to get decent mashed potatoes or colcannon. Bangers and mash is actually English in origin..
If you're having chips (fries) a good Irish sauce is whiskey and mushroom sauce, it's lush! And hot whiskeys....lots of 'em....0 -

'lucky charms' and cabbage and corned beef are definitely not irish
for authentic irish food just stew something to death and serve with at least 2 different potato sides, or alternatively just have potatoes0 -
Colcannon would be my choice-- mashed potatoes with cabbage in them.0
-
If you have bacon and sausage, look up coddle.0

I saw a recipe for Reuben Dip on allrecipes.com that I'm going to try. Looks yummy!0
