'You Irish Need To Get Over Yourselves' Sky News Presenter's Tweet Sparks Uproar

When a well-known Journalist tweets a message beginning with 'You Irish...', people are going to have something to say about it.

Social media has erupted after Sky News presenter Adam Boulton posted a message which said that Irish people need to 'get over themselves' after he was criticised for an interview he conducted with  Tánaiste and Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney.

On Friday, Boulton asked Coveney if he felt guilty over Ireland’s approach to Brexit negotiations. “Do you think that this week’s kerfuffle has been necessary? Do you feel slightly guilty that perhaps the Irish government over-briefed what had been achieved as a victory over the British for the European Union?,” Boulton asked Coveney.

Some people weren't happy with the presenter's line of questioning and he issued the 'You Irish..' tweet in response. Naturally, his choice of words didn't go down to well with people, provoking a strong reaction on twitter.

Wonder if Boulton will issue a 'I'm okay hun, pm me' style response to this tweet.

Sometimes words aren't even necessary.

One person had a straightforward enough solution.
