I must say I couldn't conclude that the meaning of his comment was obvious or funny. I didn't know what he meant one way or the other. Given the subsequent comments neither did anyone else apart from a couple of guesses like your's SJ. Anyway, what do you mean '(very)Irish'? Are there degrees of it I should know about?
