The act of leaving a social gathering suddenly, and without any word of goodbye to the other attendees.
"Where did you go last night? Last I saw you were at the bar, doing tequila shots!"
"Yeah man, it all got a bit too real, so I pulled an Irish Goodbye, grabbed a taxi home and fell asleep on the toilet"

When someone avoids emotional situations by cutting off all communication and contact with specific people and goes on with life like nothing ever happened.

A goodbye taking more than 1 hour and in which a new conversation begins. People can spend hours on end standing in the driveway talking, during an Irish Goodbye. Not limited to Irish people, but very common among large Irish Families.
This type of goodbye is different because the more serious one is about leaving, the longer they stay around for.

If we get bombed into oblivion by a pack of fundamentalist goat herders, you can thank Sleepy Joe and his Irish Goodbye out of Bagram!

Abandoning your friends at a party/bar/dinner without saying a single word to any of them, usually resulting from being very intoxicated. California Irish Goodbye's are risky for the DUI exposure. Also deserting your buds 10-20 miles away from their residence deserves an ass kicking.
Where's John at, I haven't seen him for over an hour.
I dunno, someone mentioned he did a sneaky California Irish goodbye a while ago.
