Irish mammy

The Irish mammy is a cultural stereotype used in Ireland to describe Irish mothers of a traditionally matriarchal style, who exhibit traits of over-protection or servitude towards their children and/or domestic visitors in general, but can also be exacting when needed.

In 2017, The Irish Times wrote of the Irish mammy as a "magnificent and treasured institution."
