    The seoige sisters. The youngest of the seoige sisters (sile, i think) was a few years above me in school. I used to fancy her boyfriend. He was hot.

    Cool, we went to the same school.

    One of the lads from DSIDE went to both my primary school and secondary school, a mate of mine from secodary school became a weatherman on RTE and i know Chris o Dowd from The IT Crowd since i was 13 but we didn't go to the same school so it probably doesn't count.

    Eamon and Ciaran Owens were at my school same time as me around the time of Butcher Boy, Angela's Ashes...etc.

    Loads of county gaelic footballers...not really famous but they are on tv the odd time. One or two were on the roster for Australian Rules AFL teams for a while...weren't really successful though.

    A Your a Star finalist...thats it really.

    A girl from my class in secondary school went off to America to be an actress. I looked her up on IMDB. She's only had a few bit parts in tv shows and a very small part in The Heartbreak Kid.

    A girl from my sister's class auditioned for The X Factor years ago. Didn't make it passed the audition and was only on TV for a few seconds.
