The website for Irish women
If there’s one thing Irish people know, it’s a good cup of tea. Sometimes, in foreign climes, it’s hard to get your hands on, and the longing sets in…
A surprising 69% of Irish people surveyed said they missed enjoying a cup of tea most, ahead of a pint in the local pub. Tea was the most missed Irish product for Irish men abroad , while Irish chocolate and crisps came in a close behind. While both male and female populations ranked spending time with family and friends as the most missed activity, the national pastime of cups of tea and chats came second, ahead of attending local GAA matches or watching sporting events with friends.
Diarmaid Ferriter, author and expert on Irish emigration commented on the results of the survey, “Emigration has been central to the Irish experience for nearly 200 years and more recently with 68,000 emigrating from April 2009 to April 2011 and a further 46,500 from April 2011 to April 2012.”
