Website ranks Irish men as ugliest in world

The chiselled good looks of Irish-born celebrities such as Michael Fassbender, Colin Farrell and Cillian Murphy,  are the exception to the rule, according to an international dating site that has again ranked men from Ireland the ugliest in the world.

Fewer than one in 10 single Irish males who applied to put their profiles on elitist site beautifulpeople.com last year were accepted.
