Remember these?
So much has happened in Irish society during 2016 that it’s easy to forget some of the biggest events and stories from the past 12 months.
Here are some of the biggest stories on JOE during January.
10) The Gardai arrest a driver in Limerick. They instantly regret these stickers.
We can only imagine the first conversation between them.

9) Ireland’s ugliest counties
The list by Beautifulpeople.com went as follows;
5) Dublin, 4) Cork, 3) Galway, 2) Belfast (Antrim/Down) and 1) Limerick.
Dear Limerick, we still think that you’re all gorgeous.
8) This pub in Wexford had an ingenious way of selling half pints
Simon Lambert & Sons bar, take a bow.
7) The ballsy fella walks through water protests shouting at people to pay their bills
Jamie Harrington is a very brave man.
6) Clonakilty in Cork is home to possibly the greatest shop sign ever
For those that are always on the look out for some auld shite.
5) Saoirse Ronan being declared as British
Nope, no, not having this.
Once again, the Republic of Ireland is not part of the UK.

I never knew Pierce Brosnan was so good looking.

3) The Tipperary fella that produced a class version of Maniac 2000 on the Voice of Ireland
Pauric O’Meara must know a few sexy ladies that had to get a thrill.

2) The girl that was so drunk, she forgot that she was in Galway before getting a taxi to Kildare
Must have been a good night in the West of Ireland.
1) Alan Rickman’s sad passing
The legendary actor passed away aged 69 after a battle with cancer.
A much-beloved star of stage and screen over the last number of decades, Rickman delivered a series of outstanding performances in a number of memorable roles, such as villain Hans Gruber in Die Hard, Professor Snape in the Harry Potter movies and Eamon de Valera in Michael Collins.
RIP.
