Brenda Fricker as Mrs Brown in My Left Foot
A tribute to the Irish mammy you’re leaving behind, whether it’s for a two-week holiday or a longer trip “out foreign”.
(Ooh, ah) Paul McGrath
Interchangeable with your favourite member of the Italia 90 squad.
Amy Huberman’s tweets

Petition to the Irish government to make it a musical passport, so when you open it at check in you and everyone around you can get a blast of THIS:
Craggy Island’s shipwreck
AKA the MV Plassey, shipwrecked on Inisheer, Aran Islands in 1960. An iconic Irish landmark if there ever was one.
