There is definitely no specific animal which is our national animal. However,the chicken, the greyhound, the Irish Hare (a breed only found in Ireland) the bull, the salmon and the elk (large deer) all featured on our old coins. The reason people think it is the stag is that it was a male elk on our one punt (irish pound) coins.

Our national emblem is the shamrock. We do not, and never did have, snakes!!

It used to be snakes. But some foreigner went and banished them and left christianity instead. The most apt one for now would be a bull, as an observation on politics.

We have several ones, the most important ones would be the stag and the salmon.
And Finnbarr is definitely and emphatically right about the bull!

We don't have a national animal. There are many animals that are significan, either becasue they feature in our mythology, or because they are peculier to Ireland. These include the salmon (becasue of the salmon of knowledge), the wolf (a symbol of power and leadership, combined with wildness), the bee (symbol of plenty and a good king), the Irish elk, the Irish hare, And, of course, the bull.

My guess is 'the sweater'.

Ireland: Home of the wool sweater.

The Stag.

The Irish wolfhound or Irish setter is often used as a 'national' animal.
For example the national bus service (Bus Éireann) uses the setter as its emblem.
