How to find and join an Irish music session

I've had a few session-related questions come my way recently and thought a breakdown of the ins-and-outs of joining an Irish session, session etiquette, instrument selection, tune selection, etc. - all that stuff that goes into playing in sessions would be a fun topic to cover.

DO NOT NOODLE.

Also don't play it if you don't know it. Forgot that one.
