Irish supporters in France are being praised to the skies by impressed locals

When the Irish are in town, good times tend to follow.

France has received a healthy injection of craic in the last few days as supporters clad in green flood Paris, and other cities, ahead of the Republic of Ireland's Euro 2016 opener against Sweden on Monday. And while the trouble in Marseille has somewhat marred the opening days of the tournament, the Irish supporters have been receiving heaps of praise from the locals for their impeccable, if not always sober, behaviour. They travel in droves They're very easily entertained https://twitter.com/simon_pausch/status/741725180305768448 You won't find friendlier people They're helpful They're drinking in the French culture They're "the coolest" apparently The passion, oh the passion would give chills to a tulip. Whatever that means. They're wonderfully weird Wow, just wow! A loud ol' bunch, they are (gueulaient means yelling) They're just a lovable crowd
