8 months agoIt’s a link to the Irish Times, an Irish newspaper, so this is Ireland (not the UK).
OP could have added that bit when posting it, but I can’t really blame the newspaper for not including it in their headline. Their core audience knows that they’re speaking about Ireland unless it’s stated otherwise.
I’d always read it the same way. Watching Looney Tunes and realising one of the characters was called Yosemite Sam was what made it click for me somehow. I still say yoss-em-ite in my head though.
