The 22 most Irish things that happened in 2014

Riverdance lads, the Waterford pig, the ice-cream van…

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.

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.

11. 50 Ways To Kill Your Mammy

Baz Ashmawy’s Sky TV show saw him taking his 71-year-old mammy Nancy around the world to try a range of death defying tricks, from sky diving to crocodile wrestling.

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.

12. This Buckfast spoof causing panic

It’s no laughing matter.

14. The Flahavans tracksuit on the Late Late

Sherlock star Andrew Scott appeared on the Late Late Show back in January and it was revealed that he was the kid from the eighties Flahavans ad. Remember, the one with the tracksuits.

Well Mr Flahavan was in the audience, and had a special present for Scott.
