The spirit of Irish generosity has proven to be true as GoFundMe revealed we're the most generous country in the world.
One of the biggest campaigns in Ireland is the Sean Cox fund, which has raised more than €1 million over the last five months.
Mr Cox was seriously injured in April after he was attacked by AS Roma supporters before Liverpool's Champions League semi-final tie outside Anfield.
The 53-year-old dad of three from Dunboyne, Co Meath suffered serious head injuries in the attack, and remains in a serious condition.

Other Irish campaigns that have raised massive amounts include Regina's Fight For Life and Shan's treatment.
Combined the campaigns have raised almost €1 million.
Rob Solomon, Chairman and CEO of GoFundMe said: “GoFundMe has become the ‘take action’ button of the internet - and nowhere is that more evident than in Ireland.
"Since our launch in Ireland in 2016 people have flocked to our platform to help others, show kindness and express support for those in need.
"GoFundMe is a really simple and social way of enabling ordinary people to engage and support the causes they care about - a person puts a campaign out, a friend shares that campaign and soon tens, hundreds or even thousands of people are sharing and donating.
"With more than one in 10 people donating in Ireland, it really is the most generous country in the world.”
