With St. Patty's day almost upon us, these funny Irish saying prints reinvent the 'Keep Calm and Carry On' English wartime posters in hilarious fashion.
The posters, which have sayings like: "Keep going, sure it's grand" reinforce the typically laid-back Irish mindset. Other, more risqué posters in the range include "A complete history of Ireland," which is summed up in four concise words: "Grand, lovely. Bollox, shite." These riotous posters will go down a treat on Saint Patrick's Day and are sure to give any ex-pats in your circle of friends a good, hearty laugh.
The posters come framed beautifully in a high-quality hardwood frame with mounted glass to ensure they won't get ruined, even if you do slosh your Guinness all over them!
