Please Be Quiet: Ireland Is Viciously Hungover For Equality Today

Hungover For Equality

Irish people are known for many things. From being fond of cuppa tea, our wit, and our ability to have one hell of a night out.

Now that Ireland is now known as the first country in the world to vote for same sex marriage equality, we had the opportunity to showcase our magical ability for "the craic" and "banter" on one hell of a night out.

Of course, that means the mother of all hangovers is affecting the entire nation this morning.

One man saw this as an opportunity. An opportunity to showcase the Irish wit and he made the best of a bad opportunity. That man, is Geoff Shorts:

Retweet if you're #hungoverForEquality.

Just please, do it quietly.

@Colmogorman please talk quietly. Many of your admirers are #hungoverForEquality right now. :-)

And it caught on, with Simpsons references...

Pray for mojo #hungoverForEquality

And although Geoff was getting worried:

The problem with the #hungoverForEquality hashtag is none of us are feeling particularly witty right now.

People came to the fore. Classic Irish person not liking the sun:

#HungoverForEquality is the most Irish hashtag ever.

Then as with all hangovers, The Fear started setting in for some:

So, how many impromptu proposals are now being remembered with horror in the cold light of morning? #hungoverForEquality

The less said about this the better:

"Daddy, will you go on the seesaw with me?"
"Not today" #hungoverForEquality

Please just be quiet:

Jeez not so loud @Cher! It's a bit delicate here today #hungoverForEquality https://t.co/yCti2g7zJE

Others realised that the "No" campaigners had missed a trick:

No posters really should have read "voting yes will lead to an almighty hangover". At least it would have been accurate #hungoverForEquality

So Irish:

I've a head on me like a radiator that needs to be bled #hungoverForEquality

We aren't sure if this is because he couldn't face another bit of wine after last night or...

Mass this morning was just 55 minutes of Fr Brennan crying into the communion wine. #MarRef #IrelandSaidYES #hungoverForEquality
