    May not have been fully Irish? He wasnt Irish and snakes have never existed on Ireland. He wasnt even the first christian biblebasher to visit this island. Hes just a welsh gloryhunter.

    The church would turf him out...oh wait

    It always bemuses me how the role of the Irish Medical Association in the fall of Noel Browne (p.279) - indeed in being the first to oppose his proposals and recruit the Roman Catholic Church to its side - is overlooked and the Roman Catholic Church gets the full blame.

    +1. He stood up to the french in his time, and the other people from these islands under him gave a great account of themselves too. One of the best leaders to ever come out of Ireland. Be interesting to have a pint with him all right, see his perspective on things.

    Was a Clareman but he ruled from Cashel so Tipperary are claiming him.

    Cashel will be the capital of Ireland once again
    I'd go along with that. If Cashel was the capital again maybe the rest of the country could Hate the people of Cashel and give us Dubs a break.

    Dr, Noel Browne, he'd show more compassion for the people and not the banks.

    Dave Allen, be nice to have an Irish comedian who didn't have to rely on shouting very, very loudly or trotting out the same jokes year after year.
