It's no secret that Ireland is the best looking nation on Earth, especially when the sun is splitting the stones as it is now. We don't even shout it from the rooftops; it's a bit like the GAA in that, as much as we feel other people would enjoy it, we kind of just want to keep it for ourselves. Don't show these to anyone, but here are 13 photos of Ireland glistening beneath the summer sun.
