The Death of the Party
Same in Ireland, house parties are pretty common. I'm wondering if it's to do with the population density and public transportation (you don't want to drive drunk), among many other factors already mentioned in the article.

It's been awhile since I've been to Ireland (10 years) but I remember the cost of alcohol being very high, not just in tourist areas.
I also notice police being very proactive against drink-driving - in the centre of Dublin at least.

Drinks are much cheaper in shops compared to pubs/bars (the latter are taxed much more heavily). Another reason for Ireland to party at home :)
