It's become a national tradition at this stage. Collectively as a nation, we gather around the television to watch First Dates Ireland and collectively as a nation, we tweet out our gas reactions.
Last night was no exception. From a Joe Canning lookalike to a love poem, here are the best Twitter reaction to last night's episode.
There was another double date as cousins Darragh and Alan got set up and Doctor Darragh had people swooning...

But Twitter noticed that he resembled a certain hurling star...
Is that Joe Canning pretending to be surgeon on #FirstDatesIRL?

While others couldn't cope when Alan whipped out a poem for Jane.
I can’t cope with the cuteness of him writing her a poem 😻😻😻 how on Earth is he single #FirstDatesIRL

We met familiar faces when Gemma and Pat entered the restaurant. The pair bonded over a shared love of music and live gigs.
Dermot and Dave caught up with Pat this morning to find out ALL about the date. You can listen by clicking here.
Unfortunately I recognised Pat from Head2Toe 🙈 even without the ponytail #firstdatesIRL pic.twitter.com/7tPfc24aQB

DATER UPDATE
Wondering if Pat and Gemma ever attended that gig? Want to know which dater is messaging us all the way from Argentina?

And a lot of dates struggled with that door...
It is now estimated that 92% of #FirstDatesIRL guests have issues with THAT door! Surely an oul pull sign wouldn’t break the bank 😃 pic.twitter.com/sTRTPRrZXE
