We're not sure we agree with you here, Saoirse.
Saoirse Ronan has defended her part in the Aer Lingus sketch that appeared on last weekend's Saturday Night Live, a segment that drew criticism for its portrayal of Irish people.
The actress, who is expected to receive her third Academy Award nomination for Lady Bird, told Ryan Tubridy on The Late Late Show that it was a "dream come true" to appear on Saturday Night Live and that the sketch in question was just "fun".
Ronan told SNL creator Lorne Michaels that she wanted "at least one Irish sketch in there" before insisting she is "NOT anti-Aer Lingus."
"Listen, I fly Aer Lingus, I collect my points. That's how often I fly Aer Lingus! I shop local and I eat Tayto."
