Nice to see the pipers wearing kilts in the Dublin St. Pat's parade. I wonder what tartan that is...

it looks to me like the U.S. Navy tartan. If not the same then very similar. Does this tartan have a different name outside the U.S.?

Yep, it does look like US Navy. Why on Earth would the Dublin Fire Brigade be wearing that tartan?

That is a question, not quite in that exact form though, that many over here ask ourselves, quite regularly!

Not sure it is the US Navy Tartan which has a red stripe in it. I don't see any red in the Fire Brigade tartan. I'm curious as to which tartan it is. There web site doesn't seem to say. Edit: I take that back - one photo I found does seem to show a faint red stripe.
