Any Irish readers out there?

I'm trying to identify the Hiberno-English aspects of this article, but I'm afraid that since I was born in the Netherlands, I've met with limited success thusfar and would greatly appreciate some insights (or craic, if all else fails). It's been too long since I did my BA thesis in fair Baile atha Cliath.

Any and all insights welcome, both through email or in the comments section.

It's for a good cause, you might just help me to ace a course in 'Cross-cultural journalism' (which is required if I want to get my MA degree in journalism anytime soon), or at the very least, prevent me from flunking it.

"I believe in life. I believe in treasuring it as a mystery that will never be fully understood, as a sanctity that should never be destroyed, as an invitation to experience now what can only be remembered tomorrow. (...)
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the capacity to reach for its own good, that within every physical body there endures an unalienable right to be free from coercion. (...)
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer."
Andrew Sullivan
