It’s that time of the week again, my fellow First Dates Ireland enthusiasts. Last night saw some absolutely lovely dates happening, but one of them stood out for quite an unexpected reason.
When we were introduced to Dylan and Conor, we all thought they were absolutely adorable. But then, it hit us. And people were quick to jump on Twitter and point out that these two, in fact, looked exactly like each other.

Dominoes Pizza even got in on the banter, responding to RTÉ2 on Twitter saying, “Hey @RTE2 we think you accidentally used the same photo twice!”

Regardless of how similar their appearance was, people still thought they were absolutely adorable. One Twitter user wrote, “Thanks lads for the happy smiling faces, far too scarce these days”.

Also appearing on last night’s episode was Peter and Mags, who viewers fell in love with. Mags described how she and her husband drifted, how she has struggled in lockdown and the death of her sister. When it was revealed that they were still dating, Twitter went mad for it.
'MAGS AND PETER ARE STILL GOING STRONG!' 😭😊😭☺#FirstDatesIRL

Long story short, that was some good wholesome viewing last night.
