This week’s edition of ‘How Irish Ireland has been this week’ is particularly celebrity filled, boasting A-listers from home and abroad, and some even from… well, fabric.

You won’t get it until you read below, so you best get on with it then. 

They’re good, we promise.

1. This ‘expectation vs reality’ moment 

Faraway hills are greener. 

2. This shot of Mark Hamill going 90 while eating Tayto

May the Force be with him, like.

3. Gourmet Burger Kitchen’s newest milkshake

Yes, they are Mikado biscuits. And yes, someone you know would love some.

11. And finally, Chewbacca visiting this primary school in Kerry

In Scoil Baile an Fheirtearaigh, in Dingle. To be exact. And yes, that did mean there had to be a Gaeilge translator present.

Oh, and one last thing… the children referred to him as a ‘madra mór’, but also ‘an-cairdiúil’.
