Pic: Ryanair’s in-flight magazine really needs to brush up on Irish geography

Maybe Dublin just migrated north for the winter?

Maybe Dublin just migrated north for the winter?

There are a few things that JOE knows very well and can recite instantly when put on the spot.

For example; we know all the words to Whiskey in The Jar, the entire starting XI from Ireland’s match against England in Euro ’88 and most of the multiplication tables. We still struggle when things are multiplied by zero though.

Our knowledge of Irish geography is bulletproof though after being rigorously tested during secondary school.

We would like to think that if we were blindfolded and left stranded in the middle of a field in Cork, Kerry or Dublin then we could find our way home.

Sadly, we can’t say the same for the person that drew this map in Ryanair’s in-flight magazine.

JOE reader Gareth Conroy got in touch with us also to inform us that Michael O’Leary’s company have made some previous ‘geography errors’ when it comes to their maps.

Take a look at where Liverpool and Dublin are located on this one.
