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

    Every scene with the grandfather is gold! (played by the same guy who played Bariston Selmy in Game of Thrones!)

    I get annoyed by that guy, I guess the joke is he is needlessly cruel to the son-in-law but it gets old. Don't let that put you off the show though, that is 1% of an otherwise excellent show.

    I liked "Moone boy" With Chris O'Dowd

    As much as I loved Black Books, I somehow think of it as British instead of Irish? It has a slight hint of West-Brit to it 🀣

    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! 🀣

    As a footnote, I really need to watch "Moone Boy" some year.

    If you're looking for cozy I've heard decent things about Ballykissangel?

    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 don’t match their real life relationship.
