Grainne’s Gap in Muff in Donegal was impassible today and Twitter just couldn’t handle it

As the snow fell overnight in parts of the country some roads became impassable, and so the AA took to Twitter as they do every day to warn motorists.

Unfortunately, at least for the person tweeting, one warning produced a sentence they had probably never foreseen.

In Donegal, the well-known area called Grainne’s Gap near the village of Muff became treacherous due to heavy snow, and the below tweet caused something of a sniggering avalanche amongst Twitter users.

Now, we don’t condone any sort of lude behaviour online, but the replies gave us all the belly laughs, and after all, it is Friday.

Grainne’s Gap is impassable at Muff.
I love our country. https://t.co/XFWNEJ4uYC

Only RTE could follow up a weather report mentioning Grainne’s Gap with a news item on Gynaecological waiting lists
