Ireland is a majestic place, full of wonder and a rich history. But according to stock photographers, Ireland is also rife with stereotypes and everything is green. Everything and everyone.
Let's take a look today at some of the greatest stock photos of what the world thinks Irish people are like and try to decode these amusing images.

We love jugs. And beer. Which may be true but I'm pretty sure this is a German outfit, not an Irish one. Nice try, internet.

The Irish will be anything to be photographed in their national costume, an O2 shirt, a novelty hat and an authentic red beard.

Speaking of redheads. That's all that we have in Ireland. Every single person, a full on redhead.
I told you we were excited about clovers!
