Poor form, gentlemen, poor form.
There we were, in our innocence, thinking there is no way on Earth that any self-respecting Irish person could turn up to a wedding with their arms swinging… but we were wrong.
According to JOE’s very own A Slice of Ireland 2017 survey, just under one in five of you have attended a wedding without bringing a gift for the happy couple.
Yep, it’s true.
A full 18% of JOE’s readers have taken to the free bar and availed of those delicious canapés – not to mention the beef and/or the salmon – without even bringing so much as a card to the happy couple.
We’re not here to judge, but if you’re in that 18% please know… arse to that… we absolutely do judge you. Sort it out.
This year’s Slice of Ireland survey gave us plenty of insight to what you love, and hate, about living in Ireland as 2018 draws closer and closer.
We found out that you all see Barack Obama as the ‘voice of a generation,’ closely followed by Blindboy and Leo Varadkar, while your favourite Irish accent comes all the way from… Donegal.
That’s right, the North-West lilt is adored up and down the country.
Group CEO of Maximum Media Daragh Byrne said: “Slice of Ireland allows us to paint a very extensive, detailed picture of our audience, and what we presented today is only the tip of the iceberg, there is so much more involved in this project.
“The insights we gain don’t just help us to determine how we develop our own business in 2018, but it also helps us to work even more effectively and collaboratively with our commercial partners.
“Innovation is at the heart of everything we do here and has enabled us to become the leading digital publisher in Ireland and this report will play a significant supporting role continuing our trajectory here in Ireland and beyond.”
