VIDEO: Every Irish dad uses at least three of these sayings

Tony Cuddihy

Happy Father’s Day.

This goes out to the man who used to let you beat him at football in the back garden, who used to give you 50p to go to the shop as long as you didn’t blow it all on a can of Coke, who used to help you terrorise the mother with a rubber spider and who probably shouldn’t have been giving you sips of Guinness while the aul’ one wasn’t looking.

Still, did us no harm.

Nuala and Noleen absolutely nail the typical Irish country dad here, from wondering who has used all the hot water to giving out about how close you’re sitting to the telly.

Thanks to Rozlyn Byrne Sheridan for sending this our way.
