As revealed by Twitter's end-of-year data, the people of Ireland rallied around to promote kindness, share some laughs and stand up against social injustices. Another woman who has spent 2020 lifting the spirits of the nation was comedian Alison Spittle, who created the #CovideoParty. The 24-year-old cemented his place in Irish hearts with a succinct two-word tweet that became the most liked tweet on Irish Twitter this year. Those who perhaps didn't feel much love on Twitter were those who were in attendance at the #GolfGate dinner this summer. Although there was a lack of live sports action this year, Manchester United's Marcus Rashford had Twitter abuzz with his work to raise the plight of the UK's poorest children, making him the most talked-about sports person on Irish Twitter this year.
