If Ireland had a Citizenship test, what questions would appear on it?
That was the question RTÉ 2fm presenter, Rick O'Shea, asked listeners one day in 2011 on his radio show and on Twitter.
The response was phenomenal. Thousands of people got their thinking caps on and came up with an amazing range of responses.
Fluffy Button archived the Tweets tagged with the #citizenshiptest hashtag, picked out the best ones and produced a poster with 99 choice examples of Irish wit and wisdom.
Here are a couple of examples:
The poster is a large A2 size (42cm x 59.4 cm) and looks great framed. A perfect New Year gift for yourself or someone overseas. Hover over the poster image above to see the zoomed image.
€4.50 from the sale of every poster will be donated to Rick and RTÉ 2fm's nominated charity, Médecins sans Frontières, the world's leading medical humanitarian organisation.
"MSF opened its office in Ireland in 2006. Here, we support the international movement through raising awareness of humanitarian crises around the world in Irish media; through fundraising activities; and recruiting skilled professionals to become MSF volunteers across the world. More than 50 Irish volunteers from a range of medical and non-medical backgrounds have worked with us in countries as diverse as Sudan, Myanmar, Colombia, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan."
Your order will ship in a sturdy tube to protect the poster. P&P cost per poster is €3.50 anywhere in the world.
