VIDEO: The history of gay Ireland

Paddy Power caused a little bit of controversy with their new advertising campaign this week and now they have apparently asked Youtubers ’Epic News’ to provide context on the history of gays in Ireland.

We're not entirely sure how much research went into this mildly inaccurate synopsis of Irish gay history and we're also not entirely sure Paddy Power actually has anything to do with this as presenters Peter and Chris claim.

No matter, as the video will most likely have no bearing on which way you will vote and the only debate it will spark is whether people find it funny or not.
