    Shamelessly stolen from the Clare forum
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056328111


    I'm not mad into celebrities but I thought it might be nice to compile a list of well known Tipp Folks.

    They can be from all walks of life, from the arts, to history, to politics and sports. They may have been born and bred here or they maybe linked by association or a love for the county.
    Just add a number and continue on......
    1. Johnny Hayes, Olympic medal winner, statue in Nenagh
    2. Matt McGrath, Olympic medal winner, statue in Nenagh
    3. Bob Tisdall;Olympic medal winner, statue in Nenagh
    4. Thomas MacDonagh, 1916 leader, Cloughjordan
    5. Bernadette Flynn, Lord of the Dance, Feet of Flames dancer, Nenagh

    Possibly, but as the OP stipulated, "linked by association" will qualify.

    John Mousey Creamer..28 entry and exit wounds. Creamer was badly wounded in a notorious broad day light machine gun attack seven years ago when he was hit in the head and upper body by 14 bullets.

    Medical sources said it was the first time they had seen a man survive such wounds.
