What makes Ireland unique?
According to many of the Twitters users posting tweets with the “How We Do Things In Ireland”, the Irish way of doing things is not a particularly pleasant one.
The hashtag is primarily being used to critique the political climate in Ireland, lamenting cronyism, corruption, huge pensions and pay packets for our politicians and, of course, the 8th amendment.
Even a quick glance at the hashtag reveals a very stark attitude in Ireland towards the political status quo.
