American TikTok having a cut off 'Irish noses'
Irish social media users are up in arms after a new trend has emerged online where Americans show off their Irish heritage.
The trend sees TikTok users take to the app to show off their 'Irish nose.' Yep, you read that right.
Obviously, there is no such thing as an 'Irish nose,' with those taking part in the trend facing some backlash. Irish social media users are up in arms after a new trend has emerged online where Americans show off their Irish heritage. Pic: Shutterstock
One person shared a glimpse of her nose, revealing 'this is the nose of my mother, her sisters, my grandmother and many more hailed from Kilkenny.'
A comment left under the post said: 'I saw this trend and I was like omg do I have an Irish nose bc [because] it's long and pointy, but then everyone under this has completely different noses. And the Irish say there's no such thing as an Irish nose.'
The original poster admitted she was 'surprised at how negative some of the comments got.' @maniacmckee Growing up I wanted my sisters nose. It was cute and little and pointed with a little scoop along the bridge. She has our paternal grandmothers nose from the Swedish side of the family. But I'm so happy to have the nose of our mom, her sisters my maternal grandmother and many others that came from the Emerald Isle ☘️ #irishheritage #family ♬ original sound – meadhbhwalshmusic
She explained: 'For me, this trend was about how lovely it is to see a certain facial feature be passed down the generations. Not that I am Irish but that I have ancestors from there starting with my maternal great grandmother and perhaps that's where this feature came from.
'Can't please everyone but I was coming from a good place.' @niamhoconnnor
Irish nose???? 😭😭😭 ♬ original sound – meadhbhwalshmusic
Content creator Niamh O'Connor was amongst those hitting out at the latest trend, writing: 'Dear America: There is no such thing as an Irish nose. You made it up. Love from Ireland.'
Niamh's post received more than 40,000 likes from people in agreement with her with many taking to the comments venting their frustrations.
One said: 'We only have big Irish heads.'
Another added: 'Literally you cannot tell when someone is Irish apart from their accent.'
A third added: 'It's the same with 'Irish hair' and 'Irish eyes,' they just love to put Irish onto anything.'
Ironically, the song, Will Ye Go Lassie, that is accompanying the trend is more of a Scottish folk song, despite Cork musician Maedhbh Walsh singing her own version.

The Corrs star pays tribute to Lord Henry Mount Charles after funeral warning
The Corrs star Caroline Corr has paid an emotional tribute in the wake of the death of Lord Henry Mount Charles as his funeral details have been announced. The Dundalk native was among the hundreds to pay tribute to the Slane Castle boss, who died on June 18 at the age of 74. Captioning a video of Lord Henry on her social media, she told her 70,000 followers: "Lord Henry Mount Charles. The extraordinary legacy that changed the world of Irish entertainment." The Co Meath aristocrat's funeral will be held on Wednesday at midday at St Patrick's Church in Slane. It will also stream online, with his family warning: "Due to very limited space inside the church, seating will be reserved and allocated for the family, with provision made for those outside." The chapel is being reserved for his family and guests because it is so small but the public are also invited to come and pay their respects. His son Alex Conyngham told the Sunday Independent of his last conversation with his father. "We talked late into the night, just the two of us, and it included my father putting some steel in my back for the future." Mount Charles told his son that, in taking over responsibility for Slane Castle, "at times it would be incredibly challenging and there may come times where you feel like it's too much to bear." Conyngham said his father added that "those are precisely the moments where you have to dig in and remember what your responsibilities are and fight to find the light at the end of the tunnel — the light will always be there". In his online death notice, Lord Mount Charles' family paid tribute to the staff at St James' Hospital in Dublin who cared for him during his long and brave battle with cancer. They said: "The Conyngham family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the exceptional staff at St James' Hospital, where Henry received stellar care over the past decade and to all those who supported him with compassion, kindness, and humour throughout his illness. "They are also deeply moved by the outpourings of love and support following Henry's passing. "Henry will repose at the Castle on Tuesday 24 and those wishing to pay their respects are invited to do so between 3 to 7pm. "The funeral will take place on Wednesday 25 at noon in St Patrick's Church of Ireland, Slane. "Due to very limited space inside the Church, seating will be reserved and allocated for the family, with provision made for those outside. "The family thanks you in advance for your understanding and would like to welcome those attending to sympathise after the service in Slane Castle."

Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
