Lillywhite (aka McGargles) stay off until such time as they brew in Ireland, as per the criteria in the first post.
By that standard, each of these should also have had a beer for sale somewhere this year (festival-only is borderline, imho, but I'm open to other views on that) so please - shout if that's not true of any of the above.

A few cuckoos in there, but by any standard, big year for Irish brewing! Well done, folks!

red hand not commercially available until 2014

However Farmageddon is available

what about baile? bighand (2012)

this may help

Do Brown paper bag not get most of their beer brewed out side of Ireland?

They have lately, but they didn't to start with - first ever batch was brewed here, iirc, and they intend to again, I believe.

Should we remove 5 Lamps seeing as they a primarily owned by C&C?

Leave them on for the sake of completeness, I'd say. All those contract brands don't count as Irish craft breweries either.
