A T-shirt designed by American retail company J.Crew is causing a stir on Twitter, due to the fact it doesn't include Northern Ireland in its design.
The garment caught the attention of Twitter user @FXKennedy who posted the image on his twitter page, with the following caption:
''Hey, @jcrew, it's great that you're doing an Irish t-shirt for St Patrick’s Day, but this is offensive, bordering on obnoxious, for a couple of reasons.
I'll let you figure it out for yourselves, but showing the design to any Irish person would have helped.''

The tweet has been liked over 1.2k times since being posted yesterday.
One twitter user commented: ''They left out the actual place where he (St. patrick) lived, died and is buried. I honestly worry for our race.''
Another noted: ''Funny how 25% cut in geographical accuracy can create 100% cut in profitability. St Patrick, spent majority of his missionary life Ulster counties. From his early days as a slave in Antrim, reputed to be buried in Down....''
While a third said: ''I’m actually speechless.''
