I am the go-to Dublin Northsider at HerFamily.ie and that’s ok with me.
I answer questions such as “Is ‘in me flowers’ a thing?” (it is), “What’s the name of that shopping centre with the Drive Thru McDonalds near Ikea?” (Airside) and “Where do you think you’re going with my handbag?!” (joke)
I really started this ‘North Side Baby Boy Names Thread just so I could get to the letter ‘P’. Just wait for it!
