One Direction star tops Irish Twitter list

He’s a global heart-throb — and by far Ireland’s most followed person on Twitter.

With more than three times as many followers as his nearest rival, One Direction star Niall Horan is king of the 140 character domain with more than 4m people hanging on his every word.

Unsurprisingly, Ireland’s Twitter top 10 is dominated by boybands, boys and former Boyzone stars.
