The Irish are great people who have a lot of funny characteristics. Unfortunately, lying happens to be one of them. Here is the 23 top lies you will hear in Ireland. Some of them are hilarious!
1. “I’m only going out for one.”
A classic phrase all Irish people have used.
2. “I’m on my way.”
Arguably the biggest lie in Ireland – usually told by lazy parents who are on the sofa watching TV or someone who is still in bed when they shouldn’t be.

Even if something was everything but, it is always grand.

Yeah right.
5. “It’s not too far away.”
Yeah, just down the road…5 hours away.
6. “My Great Grandad was in the GPO during the Easter Rising in 1916.”
You’ll usually hear this one at a bar.

We are all very familiar with this one.
8. “I love it, thanks.”
A lie commonly heard after a haircut.
