I believe the answer is:

graphic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'describing it vividly' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'the irish love quietly attracting attention to cold' is the wordplay.
'the irish love' becomes 'gra' (I've seen this in another clue).
'quietly' becomes 'p' (p for piano and quiet).
'attracting attention' becomes 'hi' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to cold' becomes 'C' (eg on taps).
'gra'+'p'+'hi'+'c'='GRAPHIC'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for graphic that I've seen before include "(Of an account) vivid" , "Pictorial" , "Giving vivid detail" , "Vividly descriptive" , "Described in detail" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
