One4All have done some research into Irish mammies and it's ridiculously accurate. The research was carried out amongst 1,385 people with people from across all four provinces. Some of the terminology for Mammy changes geographically with Munster Mother’s most likely to be called ‘Mam’, while Leinster, Connacht and Ulster’s Mothers most commonly called ‘Mum’. Here are some of the findings from the research about Irish mammies:
