Thanks to every one who replied to my question re plants of Ireland. Most of the replies went directly to the list - so will not repeat them here. Rhodies and fuschias were frequently mentioned. They do very well here in western Washington. In fact, most of the suggested plants will do just fine. The plant that will not be considered will be gorse. It is considered a noxious weed around here. Definitely a no-no. Thanks so much! Am off to the nurseries.
