a dollar o'day 

Da modest amount dat you hope dat yer new frecklefaced-redhead girlfriend will cost you. (Note: I am totally pro-equality, and so there is no gender-bias intended here; it's just that it's a long-practiced tradition that the guy picks up the tab for any dating-related expenses that the girl incurs, especially if "HE had asked HER" --- i.e., the guy had been the one who had approached the girl for the date --- and so the idea would be that SHE was doing HIM a favor by being his partner, and therefore she should not have to burden her own budget during said outing.

What with modern sky-high prices even for simple foods and entertainment, expecting a cute Irish chick to be content with just "a dollar o'day" in dating costs might be a bit unrealistic; a better thing to do would be to discuss beforehand what said hot Celtic-origined damsel most enjoys for meals and/or recreation, and then see if said preferences can be palatably met in a fairly-economical fashion, such as walking/biking around to various places instead of driving, having a picnic of supermarket-fare instead of eating out, renting a video instead of going to a theater, visiting hiking-trails and scenic overlooks instead of shelling out for pricey park-entry fees, etc..
