13 Of The Most Hilarious (But Underappreciated) Irish People On Twitter

Twitter’s great and all, but everyone knows how easy it is for it to descend into a shitshow of negativity and moaning.

So you need it to bring the funny. And in order for it to do that, you need to be following some good people.

Here are 13 Irish accounts you might not have come across – and following them all is guaranteed to make your Twitter experience approximately 497% better.

1. Elaine Igoe

Could hardly start anywhere else. One of the most wickedly, consistently hilarious people on the web – in Ireland and beyond – she’s guaranteed to make you guffaw at least once a week.

We can’t show you her tweets here unfortunately, but you if you start following her on Twitter right now we promise you won’t regret it.

2. Kate Demolder

A relatively recent addition to the team here at Lovin Dublin, Kate’s generally at her best when talking about food.

Which is pretty much always.

The best things in life are beige ????????????????????????????????????????????????????

3. Caoimhe O’Reilly

With tweets that will make you wonder how she stole your thoughts, Caoimhe documents late-20s life strugs in a way that will leave future historians baffled and intrigued in equal measure.

4. Fiona Hyde

Scathing, cutting, pop-culture-laden feminist brilliance.

Why won’t they give Mr Tayto a Mrs Tayto? He spends his days alone in a horrorscape of isolation, the only of his species to walk the earth

4. Alan Maguire

He’s the guy behind the Not The RTÉ Guide account, which is fantastic in itself – but his personal account also yields daily brilliance.

Nearly finished my Sexy Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 costume for next week!

5. Aoife

Aoife will make you want to fave her tweets so often that you’ll begin to feel like you’re coming on a bit strong.

6. Chris Greene

Not quite so little-known, given he presents a programme on national radio and all that – but his piss-taking of social media eejitry is a wonder to behold.

If we win against Poland tonight I actually think we’re going to develop such a national confidence we’ll start invading countries
