The most talked about moments on Facebook in Ireland this year have been revealed

2019, it's been a hell of a year.

Facebook continues to be the most popular social network in the world with 2.45 billion monthly active users on the platform. But even if you're not using Facebook, the chances are you're in the loop. The company stated this year that 2.8 billion people were using at least one of the company's core products (Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, or Messenger) each month. So it's safe to say, you likely use some platform controlled by Facebook. On Wednesday, the company shared it's annual ‘Year in Review’ which reveals the most talked about and celebrated moments on Facebook in Ireland in 2019. It's hard to believe some of this happened less than a year ago. Facebook Ireland Year in Review 2019
