How can we brand Ireland differently?

Irish brands are continuing to ensure their survival, especially within the food and drink market.
With Ireland exporting more and more home-grown brands all across the globe even with a worldwide recession still rampant, we had to wonder, who is excelling more than most?
In light of it being St Patrick's Eve, here are OUR top 5 Irish brands which one might fancy -

1 - Barry's Tea
Barry's Tea was founded in 1901 in Cork City. Until the 1960s, tea was sold from a shop in Prince's Street, but thereafter as a result of its increasing popularity, the company expanded its wholesaling and distribution operations. By the 1990s, the company had become one of the largest tea suppliers in Ireland. It is also found in the UK, Spain, and in some areas of Canada and the US.
