Who'd have thunk it, eh? We've finally been recognised for something other than drunken leprechauns and have topped the list of the sexiest accents in the world.
Not only did we place in the top ten accents worldwide, but we've even ranked in the top three! Shockin'.
Yes, we have Colin Farrell, Liam Neeson, Cillian Murphy and more to back us up on this particular ranking, but would have thought that the deep Kerry accent, to the north inner city, would be hailed sexy by Big Seven Travel.
I must say thank you on behalf of all the Irish, this new medal is something we'll wear proudly. We will no longer feel embarrassed when our accent takes over, or try tone it down after a few drinks too many. No longer will we be afraid to say 'Top of the mornin' to ya" to a fascinated tourist, because deep down, we know, we're sexy.
The most shocking thing of it all is we ranked ahead of Italian, French, Scottish and Brazilian out of 60 countries around the world. Huh?
Coming just ahead of us was South African in second place and New Zealand in first, which I'm pretty happy to come after. That's tough competition!
