1. Fr. Brendan Smyth
A great ambassador for the all-powerful Church
2. Liam Lawlor
A great example or Irish Incorruptibility.
3. Gerry Adams
For showing that its OK to be a murdering terrorist in Ireland provided you're only killing the English.
4. Brian Murphy (Annabels)
For being one of the binge drinking violent rugger bugger set that likes to terrorise the city centre for no good reason of a weekend. (before you start, the brainless fu.ck STARTED the fight that killed him. For no good reason, too.)
5. Tony Felloni
The original and still the best heroin dealer.

Ireland. A great nation.

Phil Lynott- Thin Lizzy. 'Nuff said.
Rory Gallagher- Such a musician. I want to be like him.
Colm Meany- I have a soft spot for him. Good actor. Made Star Trek DS9 worth watching.
Dermot Morgan- Funny, funny man.
St. Patrick- He invented Guinness and showed us it was alright to get horribly drunk, and that liver cirrhosis is a true martyr's death.

Sounds like you're speaking from experience there and witnessed the whole thing. Any chance you know who stamped on his head and killed him?

oh and my top 5 - no particular order

Bono
Bob Geldof
Padraic Pearse
Brendan Behan
Gay Byrne

colin farrell - He has the kind of life most lads my age dream of
dermot morgan - he was funneh
andrea roache - I'm sure she's a great conversationalist but I want to get in her knickers
omera mumba - because he can make it hot like mexico
robbie keane

If you have any doubt, read the trial transcripts. Note I didn't say he wasn't killed - my point it could just have easily been him in the dock. And it epitomises the brainless, random nature of the violence on Irish streets these days.

Not at first, no. But he became Irish once he ran off from his job (lazy git) and started muttering wierd stuff about shamrocks and put on that really green robe thing.

Yes, that's what being Irish is all about. Do you work for MasterCard?

I heard his child was born in The Coombe, therefore granting him immediate citizenship.

Because just like this thread - worst, best, etc are all just opinions based on experience, tastes, knowledge etc.
