“Unfortunately we got so lost up our own arses during the boom we forgot exactly what it meant to be to be Irish.”
There are any amount of reasons why it’s fantastic to be Irish, but it’s also often the case that we don’t mind banging on about said reasons whenever we possibly can.
For such a small nation, there are an awful lot of stereotypes that one could uniquely associate with Ireland and we’re pretty sure every single one of them is addressed in an excellent sketch by Chris Greene and Peter Ganley of Final Boss Media for Republic of Telly.
While the sketch does poke fun at our fixation with all things Irish, it does so in a self-deprecating and very humorous way and makes the very valid point that there’s a lot more to being Irish than we probably realise.
