What makes us proud to be Irish? Well in the long and varied history of the country, there are countless things that anyone can point to, but we've got our own reasons to look on our beloved Emerald Isle and smile.
From the glowing smile of the Mr Tayto Man on a packet of cheese and onion crisps, to a succulent Irish meal in the local Supermac's after it won a landmark court case, to the history of rebellion and self determination of the Irish people, we've got a whole host of historical reasons why any of us would be proud to call this small island nation our home!
Join the gang this week as they tackle the hard hitting question of what makes us proud to be Irish and throw them into a tierlist to see how they hold up against each other. Will you agree with us or do you think we missed something? Be sure to let us know!
