Irish emigrant’s ‘Just Saying’ video filmed in Dublin goes viral - VIDEO

Dave Tynan

In a poignant short video, Irishman Dave Tynan tackles the difficulties and confusion that emigration is placing upon the young generation in Ireland today.

Tynan himself lived in London for a few years, but returned to Dublin to make this video, which admirers are praising as a “masterpiece."

In the video, Tynan tackles the struggles that emigration places on not only those who choose to emigrate, but those who are left behind. He touches upon how Ireland may be easy to leave behind, but it’s also a good place to stay. After all, for many, Ireland is home.

“I’m just saying you might get sick of it all. But you might miss it, too. There’s ten good reasons to go, but a thousand tiny ones not to.”

Twitter users show ignorance - didn’t realize the Titanic was real

Appalled and shocked…we don’t blame you.

This screen shot of Twitter users conversing over the Titanic has gone viral, and it’s no wonder. The shocking images shows a list of Twitter users who had not realized that James Cameron’s movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio was actually based on real historic event.

As Journal.ie commented “You couldn’t make it up”.

What’s even more worrying is that this isn’t an isolated event. The Huffington Post noticed this before (see image below). And here one lost soul turns to Yahoo Answers to figure out what the truth is.

A worrying indictment of the lack of historic knowledge in the younger generations? No…I’m sure it’ll be fine.

Back to tweeting about One Direction and Niall Horan it is!
