11 times Ireland made a show of itself on the world stage
IRELAND, WE LOVE you, but why do you insist on making us scarleh for you?
That time we accidentally legalised yokes for a day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Now if only we could “accidentally” legalise abortion, eh?
BBC BBC
Or that time we were like, “Thanks, but no thanks!” re: Apple’s taxes and the whole world was like, “Um?”
“No honestly, keep your money. I don’t want it!”
NY Times NY Times
Or the time we sent Dustin The Turkey to Eurovision for the craic… but nobody else really got it
Look, not everybody “gets” high art, okay?
Telegraph Telegraph
Or the time it emerged we were given hush money by FIFA?
Because God forbid we stand up for ourselves or anything.
Telegraph Telegraph
Or how about the time our national obsession with Minions got so out of control that they literally impeded traffic?
The Guardian The Guardian
Or the time we were shamed by the United Nations for our draconian abortion laws?
And we just sort of… ignored them?
Newsweek Newsweek
Or the time our barbaric treatment of pregnant women was revealed to the world?
Not a great look, Ireland.
Jezebel Jezebel
Or the time Co. Kerry made “a bit of drink driving here and there” okay?
Not doing much to rehabilitate our image as Guinness-swilling jackeens.
BBC BBC
Or that squirm-inducing time that Enda reached out to shake Obama’s hand only to be left hanging by POTUS?
Enda, you’re making us look bad!
NBC News NBC News
Or the time Enda was like, “Shite, don’t want to make Trump mad”?
The Guardian The Guardian
Or how about the time we briefly investigated Stephen Fry for blasphemy?
You really surpassed yourself there, Ireland.
