9 Irish People Who Had The Absolute Craic Filling Out The Census Last Night

April 24th marked Census Day in Ireland, meaning millions of us sat down last night to spill on our most personal details – from where we were born to what time we leave the house for work every day.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter was full of Irish folks taking the p*ss as they got to grips with the green-and-white form.

There was this lad, who said what we were all thinking about the ‘Can you speak Irish?’ question

Census: “Can you speak Irish?”
My first and only thought: “An bhfuil cad agam dul dtí an leithreas?”
*Confidently marks ‘yes’*#Census2016
