Dara Ó Briain silenced Twitter trolls with a cuplá focal
Dara Ó Briain has been the focus of attention on Twitter this week involving himself in heated war of words with some Twitter trolls on the topic of immigration.
The Bray-born comedian received some backlash from a particular user which he quitened with the best 140 characters we’ve seen in a long time.
User @extrastarsboss - who has since deleted his account - tweeted the comedian saying “no not at all u can’t say that Ireland is so different. It’s the same as all other English speaking nations”
In which Dara replied:
@extrastarsboss No, nil se, Ta teanga da chuid fein aici, agus an cultur a theann leis. Is trua nach dtuigeann tu sin.

Which translates to - “No, there is not, has a language of its own, and the culture that goes with it. It is unfortunate that you do not understand.”
The comedian also included:
@extrastarsboss I’m from a different country, raised in a different language, diff sports, music, culture, literature media. Get over it.

@extrastarsboss But we are. We came from a different country. We left our families behind to work in a new country. That’s immigration!

@extrastarsboss Let it go, mate. You can’t tell me I’m not an immigrant. I am.

Maith an buachaill Dara … Maith an buachaill.
