WE’RE A LOVELY looking country, but we also sound great too.
Need proof?

Love it or hate it, six o’clock just isn’t the same without it.

Da da da da dun dun dun dun DUN.

Move, get out the way.
4. Bus Eireann’s damn luggage door
Just home, off the bus, can’t wait to– WE’RE STANDING CLEAR.
5. A busy Irish pub
Missing the craic down the local? Listen to the buzz in O’Donoghues for a whole 30 minutes.

Whether you’re taking a walk in Howth, Inishbofin, Bray, or otherwise, you’ll always hear the familiar sound of those raucous seagulls.

Sure they’re elsewhere, but you associate them with home.
