    My school was pretty new (only opened in 2000), so not much really.

    Retired Limerick hurling is teaching maths.
    Guy won Young Scientist in 2004.
    That guy then went on with his brother to do all crazy crap with E-bay and all wierd stuff.

    Younger brother was due to be doing LC this year. Now he is a frickin' millionaire in the States!!:eek: Only 17/18!!

    Also, Rowan Atkinson's nephew was in my year, which is....cool.
    Good actor too :)

    Trevor Brennan. His class were the first students in the school, so there's no-one oolder than him.

    David Geraghty was in my year.

    Don't think there's anyone else.

    Does Gavin Murphy aka Gavin Lambe Murphy count as famous?

    I was in his class in Chanel College from 1988-1993. I don't know
    whether famous would be a word to describe him or any
    other so called Irish celebrity

    Niamh Murray - Irish sopranoist. Funny she never did any singing at all in school but no doubt she didn't wanna waste her talents on us plebs... :P

    Really nice girl though, am so glad she made it.
