Katie Taylor, she's just brilliant. Amazing at boxing, seems very down-to-earth and generally nice, and is cute too.

Spooky!

I think Rob O' Cop's name was Murphy so he can be Oirish.

MrJoeSoap

Dana

Ellis Dee

William Shakespeare, one of the greatest literary geniuses (or should that be genii?) in human history. :):)

If he'd been making bombs rather than writing wonderful plays, the English would be going out of their way to disown him and emphasise his Irishness rather than claiming him as one of theirs. :D

She in the "alive" category. If that shooter on the grassy knoll near Leixlip had had better aim, she'd probably have come under the heading "dead".:D:D:D

Indeed it was, Alex Murphy, just another in a long line of great Irish cops, like Axel Foley.

A quote that was wrongly attributed to him.
Was made by Daniel O'Connell to mock the Duke's Irish birth.

Tipsy McStagger is a good lad too

With a name like that he must be Irish

Pherekydes

William Rowan Hamilton is mine.

Alive, it might be Michael Gambon, or Sean Kelly or Eamon Coghlan, or Grace O'Malley (whaddyamean she's dead?).

Oh God, could we go one thread without this crap?

Eve_Dublin

The writer Joseph O'Connor (Sinead's bro). Never heard him speak but he comes across really likeable in his books and he's a funny fooker.

I also love our dear auld wee little president Michael D. Passionate about Ireland and a great orator.

I also like Dara O'Brien a lot. Seems very likeable and a gas man.
