2015 has been an incredible year.
It’s the year the world stood in solidarity with #CharlieHebdo, the year we fought for the #Right2Water and the year #LoveWins.
Twitter has released the top trends in Ireland and the results will certainly make you feel proud. Naturally, the marriage referendum dominated the Twittersphere with #MarRef, #VoteYes, #YesEquality and #Hometovote making up four of the top five trends. The 5th, surprisingly, was #Repealthe8th.
During the Marriage Referendum vote, from the time the polls opened at 7am on May 22nd until 7pm on May 23rd, there were over
400k tweets sent for #MarRef with people tweeting pictures from before and after they sent their vote.
In politics #Irishwater takes the top spot, followed by #Right2Water and #Budget16.
Globally, the dress sparked an insanely large conversation, with more than
4.4M tweets posted on February 26th and 27th. Was the dress #BlueandBlack or #WhiteandGold?
In worldwide news #jobs, #Quran and #ISIS took the top spots with #PrayForParis and #LoveWins completing the top five.
Ariana Grande was the most tweeted about starlet. It was also the year that Caitlyn Jenner smashed records with the fastest-growing account.
Adrian Brody, Diana Ross and Chase Crawford all joined for the first time. Obama also finally joined the cool kids.
