Ten of our favourite new Irish emojis

A LONDON company, Fanmoji, has created over 100 new 'Irishmojis' so you can show your love of the Emerald Isle in your messages.

“Ireland. The Emerald Isle. The birthplace of James Joyce, Oscar Wilde and Guinness. Inventors of Gaelic football and Hurling…the country has much to celebrate. It deserves more than one tiny little emoji flag, doesn’t it?”, Fanmoji said in a statement.

Each sticker has been lovingly created by Dublin-born illustrator Diarmuid Ó Catháin.

We've picked 10 of our favourites...

1.Show your love of Ireland with this heart emoji in green, white and gold
