The Most Irish Things That Have Happened This Week

People born in, living in and those who have emigrated from Ireland will understand Irish humour. It’s a rare mix of innocence, boldness and wit, and is pretty much the gift that keeps on giving.

9. This utterly bizarre video made by two Fermanagh brothers

We’re not sure if they’re drunk or just mental.

Messin’.

11. And finally, this headline from the Offaly Independent
