What famous person went to the same school as you?

IvaBigWun

And what were they like?

Bono was in mine (Mount Temple) but was a pupil there years and years before me. By all accounts he wasnt such a twat back then.

Dudess

Nobody - Cillian Murphy went to my brothers' school though.

Davidius

My school just had its first 6th year (LCA) graduate so I don't think anybody famous has ever been there.

Somebody famous might maybe probably didn't go to my primary school. I never looked into it though. :pac:

Keeeets Duffy, and Daragh Moloney. Maybe others I dunno.

two of my mates went to school with Ulrikakakaka. one of the lads we played football with went very quiet whenever anyone talked about her. We reckon he was her "First" but was too diplomatic to talk about it.

Don't know of anyone really famous. Models Pippa O'Connor and Blathnaid McKenna (ex Miss Ireland) went to school with a few of my friends but nobody really knows who they are.

Think a Westlife member went to my old Primary School.

A guy who I believe is now a fashion presenter on RTÉ was in my class in Secondary school... and I think a big brother contestent went to that same school a good few years after I left it.

All pretty sh*t...

Tar.Aldarion

Westlife were in my secondary school.

People complain about overcrowding in schools nowadays but it is a well known fact that Bono was in a class of 4,702 in secondary school. And he was rubbish at music.

Don't be jealous now. She had'nt a big ass when she was in dcu back in late ninties immediately after secondary school so i imagine she was'nt big in secondary school. She was in fair city if i recall correctly.

monkeyfudge

I was in college with an Oscar winner though.. even did some post production sound work on one of her student films.

Played GAA in school with a couple of current Dublin footballers.
