Irish people have been left with no choice but to applaud the Pakistani Embassy for Ireland - after their list of do's and don'ts for visiting here went viral.
On Sunday evening, Dr Sahar Ahmed was browsing the embassy's website to look for specific documents when she noticed the advice for any tourists planning a trip to these shores.
What she found has left people amazed in a good way, as a 24-line list of things to avoid and take part in has been published.
The brilliant list manages to capture the sense of Ireland perfectly - from our love of GAA to our general ill feeling towards our nearest neighbours.
The full list can be read here, but we've captured some of the highlights below.
Some of the DO's include:
- Consider Ireland as your second home and treat its nationals/citizens as your family.
- Seek membership of prominent local sports groups/Clubs.
- Do participate local festivals, national day activities.
- Always maintain well manners and behave politely with local communities.
But it's the DONT's that really shine.
They include:
- Don’t call Irish people English.
- Do not mention leprechauns.
- Do not call Dublin small in front of locals.
- Do not take offence to the banter or swearing.
- Do not say Ireland is the part of British Isles.
- Do not miss Gaelic sports
When Dr Ahmed tweeted it, it began going viral as many Irish had not seen it before.
One person laughed: "This is so accurate and needs to be more widely disseminated!
A second tweeted: "They should add 'don't mention children's shoes'. This is a sensitive topic here thanks to the whole VAT thing."
While two other suggestions came in the replies: "Do not refer to St Patricks day as St Pattys day and never ever mention the abomination that is Irelands Call."
