IT’S BEEN A good year for all things Irish.
Here are our favourites from the past 12 months.
1. The Waterford Pig
In September a plucky pig went on a rampage during a street festival in Waterford City. Runaway porker, we salute you.
2. This response to a No Parking sign

3. Riverdance Lads
This video might be one of the greatest videos that has ever been committed to video. Three Irish lads took their Riverdancing talents around the world. Breathtaking.
4. This sign in Kildare

It was Nancy’s exclamations of “ah Jesus, ah no Baz, ah Baz” and her bravery and distinct Irish mammyisms that made us fall in love with her.

It’s no laughing matter.
