The phrase "The Irish know what’s what" is a colloquial English idiom.
Meaning:
It implies that Irish people (or someone acting with Irish wit/street smarts) are very perceptive, practical, and understand the true nature of a situation quickly. It suggests they aren’t easily fooled and have a sharp, no-nonsense grasp of reality.
Context:
In the quoted post, it’s likely being used humorously or admiringly to highlight a specific instance where Irish logic, humor, or directness shone through—perhaps in response to a complex, absurd, or bureaucratic situation. It’s a compliment to their cultural reputation for being savvy and grounded.
If the post included an image or specific event, it was probably showcasing a moment of quintessentially Irish wit or practical wisdom.
