OP a poll is essential for this thread.

I will go with Gerry Adams. For obvious reasons in his taking part in the Provisional IRA.

The OP is going to add a poll once they get the top nominations

Michael McKevitt

Charlie McCreevy. Not that he was essentially bad man, just that he's a complete numpty who wasted money on stupid things (de-centralfeckupisation) and then flipped off to Europe for the cushy job.

Joan Burton also. Wow just wow.

He was pushed by Bertie to go

He didn't exactly volunteer to head to Europe

I can't believe the whole of Ireland has forgotten about Larry Murphy already. For shame! I think we should get the heli-follower back on him, now that he thinks all the hype has died down.

Dermot MacMurrough deffo get's my vote.

But after that, I don't know I tend to put all gangland criminals on the list there for all the organised crime and drugs in Ireland. But As a single entity though. I'm basically talking about the likes of the Dunne Family, The Keane Family(and all the other Limerick crime families), Martin Cahill, PJ Judge, Shane Coates, Stephen Suggs, John Gilligan and ever other gangland figure and crime family in the last three decades.

Dermot MacMurrough, greatest traitor in Irish history

He was ousted as King of Leinster and invited over Richard FitzGilbert de Clare, better known as Strongbow over for military help.
Henry II later arrived and so begin the 800 years.
They didn't invade provoked, they were invited over by a power hungry chieftan!

Honorable mention to Leonard McNally, backstabbing lawyer who was a paid informer for the British. Represented 1798 rebels and Robert Emmet and sold his defence brief to the the prosecution. So sending men to the gallows

And in exchange we got beautiful buildings, a refined culture and the ability to speak a language that doesn't sound like someone murdering pidgeons. I wish I had the money to finance a film about McMurrough and Strongbow.
Considering the mess we've made of things since Independence I can't imagine what the place would look like without the English taking care of us for the last 800 years.

Anyway, worst in history was probably Dev.

A nice christmasy thread to put youze all in the festive mood of goodwill to all men

remember that greatest irish person thing that was run by RTE and won by John Hume - well this is kind of the opposite of that

We'll have a few pages of nominations and then I'll set up a poll of the 5 most(or should that be least) popular

My vote goes to Bertie Ahern, he played the man of the people thing, thought he was the greatest thing since sliced pan by bringing peace to the North (Nope that was Adams, McGuinness, Hume and even Paisley) and then deregulating everything and letting every banker, property developer and wheeler-dealer get away with murder, he then bailed out when things were getting hot in the kitchen, oh and let's throw in the obligatory corruption scandal (no bank account Bertie-how forgetful of you), ah well you can always top up the non-existent bank account by appearing in shoddy cheap ads for tabloid newspapers that shame the office of Taoiseach all in the name of writing cliched populist guff about how Man U are going to win the league, and finally the the chick-lit writing daugher and boyband son-in-law add to the whole sickly feeling i get when I think of good aul Bertie, not content with destroying the economy within a country, his offspring are now destroying the only thing we have left, our culture

so he gets my vote, how about you?

Enda Kenny, cant stand the man.

Ah I get it, he occupies a special place so far beyond being the worst Irish person in History that it's a given he's included?

Enda Kenny, cant stand the man.

Yeah, but what has Kenny done that would make him the 'worst person in Irish history' ?

stevejr

Sorry if this has been posted already but what about those thieving bastards: Seanie Fitzpatrick, David Drumm, Michael Fingleton etc. Those fcuks deserve to be up there in the Top Ten at least.

Why?


For my money it would be Haughey, Betie the Bastard, or that pair of lying cunts, Little and Large (Lenihan and Cowen) because they are the fuckers that have directly impacted my life.

Going back a bit there would be Dev, and Diarmuid MacMurrough.

Who went and mentioned Larry Murphy!! On the way back from the shop last night struggling up a deserted and badly lit road there was a camper van getting a jump start from a small car and two men. They hadn't been there less then ten minutes before. The hairs on the back of my neck were standing to attention. How did someone break down and get help in such a short time scale! All I could think of was Larry Murphy and his accomplice setting the stage for a kidnap.

I cant understand the hatred for Dev, he was basically the anti-McMurrough! He set the country on a path to normality after a famine, 2 wars, and indirectly a world war! The man was a genius! WTF like?!?!?!

Are you taking controversial opinions for the sake of being controversial? Because I do that all the time. Can't say I'm an apologist for colonialism though, its not my style.

cleremy jarkson

John Charles McQuaid.

Eamonn De Valera.

All the self-interested arseholes who opposed the mother-child act.

Sean T O'Kelly... grumpy, lick-arse to the church.

You are paranoid.
I've needed a jump start once in Longford and the first car I flagged down helped me

I crashed a car once in Tipperary and a farmer in his jeep and got a tow rope and pulled the car off the road

People are decent and will help strangers

So OP, you've lots of nominations. Any sign of this poll?

cypharius

Jackie Heally Rae.

He represents everything that is wrong with Ireland.

reverenddave

it's gotta be BONO

he's nothign but a
money hungry (for himself)
shameless attention seeking
fúcking midget

he practically revoked his irish citizenship a few years ago
just for money
he tells people to ''be less materialistic and help the poor''
while he steps out of his private jet
getting into his €400,000 limousine
taking him to his 15 million euro penthouse apartment ,
to wine and dine in the lap of luxury eating the most expensive truffles and abalone and crap like that
wearing clothes that were made by the very people he claims he wants to help



he's just a bad person

Jamiekelly

John Charles McQuaid
The biggest prick I've ever read about. Stopped children and vulnerable mothers from receiving free health care and basically pissed on the graves of people who had TB or were about to die from TB.

(I wish I could vote my old history teacher who actually defended his actions. Not surprisingly he was a devout catholic aswell. Wanker)

I'll always found it quite telling that Laudebiliter was never mentioned in any history class I ever attended. Irish people don't seem to want to acknowledge it.

Said document, recently submitted to scientific and historical artefact analysis has shown that it is most likely a forgery, probably drawn up during the fourteenth or fifteenth century in order to legitimise the Norman colonisation of Ireland. There was never any mention of it in contemporary documents from the twelfth or early thirteenth century, and considering the claims in the document this strikes an odd note.

Oh, and I believe that possibly JC McQuaid did more damage than the invader or coloniser.
