Try as others might, there's nobody quite like an Irish mammy.
Unique as they are, every Irish mother shares a common bond, a key set of skills that marks them out from us mere mortals.
But we need to be a little more specific, don't we?
To answer what marks our mammies out as the best around, we've teamed up with City Square Shopping Centre Waterford to bring you seven key traits of the Irish mammy.
Key Trait 1: Social Media Ninja

Key Trait 5: Unafraid of the odd adventure (providing it's 100% safe, of course)
Key Trait 6: They're Environmentalists! (forever closing doors, turning off the immersion, switching off lights... need we go on?)
