While we may be a nation of messers and begrudgers, we’ll always have a soft spot for our land of sunny spells and scattered showers. Who else but the Irish can perform minor miracles with a prayer to St Anthony? Or truly appreciate the medicinal purposes of Flat 7Up? Not to mention the front room, chipper chips and the ‘bad pint’!

From things you’ll only hear and taste in Ireland to tips for surviving any social situation (an Irish wedding anyone?!), Ronan Moore’s witty, irreverent and nostalgic guide will have you laughing your way to a degree in Irishology.

Altogether now … ‘Lowwww lie the Fields of Athenryyyy’
