Just because you're no longer a kid doesn't mean you can't act like one from time to time. Feel free to let your hair down, drop all of your responsibilities (within reason...) and hit the town in search of all the fun things to do in Ireland for adults. Think cocktail classes, tiki bingo, 'beer school' and a Bruce Springsteen-themed club night.
