Many Irish celebrities have reacted to the loss of the blue tick on their Twitter accounts.
The blue tick, which is used to grant verified status to Twitter accounts, was removed from a host of famous people's accounts overnight including Brian O'Driscoll, U2 and Niall Horan alike.
In order to retain the blue tick, known as legacy verification checkmarks, Twitter users must opt-in to Twitter Blue, and pay a monthly or yearly subscription.
