it gave everyone in the Dublin office a good giggle for sure!
My link to Ireland is only as strong as my personal, and quite extensive, historical funding of the Guinness empire…
Although the Monzo Community awarded me a plushie one year, and a custom Guinness glass (Community Secret Santa) the year after:

Hey, I’m Aisling, or Ash, currently based in Dublin.
I’m one of the product designers who’s been working on bringing Monzo to Ireland. I only joined a few months ago, so I’m still pretty new, but I’m SO excited to be here and to chat with some of our very first potential customers in this community.
I’ve spent the based 8 years living and working in London, but recently moved back to Dublin, where I grew up. Outside of work I’ve been getting into running, doing some weightlifting, and making the most of being home by exploring the outdoors — especially finding new hikes to try.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on this space, so please don’t hesitate to share any thoughts or feedback. We’d really love to hear from you!

Hey @Mena , why not introduce yourself here? 
Hi everyone,
My name is Conor, and I’m currently on the waiting list start date. It is great to see monzo enter the Irish market for customers here in Ireland.
A little about me. I like the odd hike here and there and when funds allow it I get the holiday abroad in too.
Some places I have visited are; Alaska, United States, Bangkok Thailand & Zürich Switzerland.
Have a great day
Conor

Hi! I’m Simon. Head of Community at rabbit inc, creators of the rabbit r1 and Large Action Model (LAM). Currently working on our next generation AI agent and potentially future hardware releases 
Previously Senior Community Manager at Twitter 1.0 (proudly tussled with the billionaire that bought the place), and prior to that, Community Manager at Sphere (acquired by Twitter) and Community Specialist here at Monzo from the very early Mondo days in 2016 when I was one of around 30 staff, until I left right before the pandemic hit in 2020.
Also a songwriter, producer, documentarian, and lifelong fan of Prince, Michael Jackson and video games (Expedition 33 was my GOTY long before it was sweeping all the awards!)
Am also familiar with setting up many a table for Monzo through early community events and setting up the first international Monzo office in Las Vegas (opened in 2018, shuttered in 2020). Very pleased to see some more international expansion happening!

Hi folks!
I’m Annjana, based in London. I’m part of the team getting Monzo to Ireland. It’s really nice to see so many community users already!
Outside of work, I am an avid arts-and-crafts hobby enthusiast, Tennis (and recently Padel) player, fiction (not fantasy) book enthusiast, and always looking to plan my next travel adventure. In life, I tend to be more analog such as writing physical letters, postcards.
Looking forward to meeting our potential early customers!

Hi there,
I’m David and my friends in the UK have been encouraging me to join Monzo.
I have a quick question though. I’m on the waitlist but the position hasn’t moved at all. Are invites being actively rolled out or am I experiencing a glitch? Or is no one able to sign up yet because you haven’t started inviting people?
