The army of Ireland consists of such:
300,000 Light Calvary: Armed with short swords, long swords and spears. They have leather armor, perhaps the occasional chain mail. This allows them to move very quickly and effectively. They are usually used to outflank the enemy.
200,000 Longbowmen, shortbowmen: The archers of Ireland are pretty effective because of their numbers and will usually be spread out across the battle and be protected by Ireland's heavy pike or spear divisions.
200,000 Heavy Pike: Basically, they carry heavy pikes, about eight feet in length with a heavy steel at the end. They are used for slowing calvary advances. These men usually don't move quickly because of their weapon and these men do have full chain mail. They also have short swords.
300,000 Infantry: The Infantry of Ireland is pretty much just a confusing amount of soldiers with no real unifying weapon. They are men that provide their own weapons, whether it be swords, pikes, spears, bows. It doesn't really matter. One thing that all of these men have are wooden and sometimes steel shields. No Irishman lacks a shield, it just depends on the size.
