    Who would you prefer OP? Bear in mind Adam Clayton and Mr.Edge cannot be included because they're Brits.

    I hope he comes in first.

    Will stop them from putting people on these lists that have no business being there.

    They should have realised at this stage that teenage girls vote quite a bit of stuff...

    Valera should never have been on the greatest list in first place. Collins for #1.

    bono, lynott, roche and certainly gately do not deserve to be anywhere near there. robinson is iffy too.

    there is no way in hell they are more worthy than:
    wolfe tone, countess markievicz, sean lemass, robert emmett, charles stewart parnell - do you want me to go on? i could list hundreds more worthy. DeV for all his faults would be far more appropriate

    But for him to be beaten by a lad who sang in a boy band?

    Whatever you have to say about him, he played a massive part in this country's history.

    Keith Duffy should be on the list. I mean in won Irish person of the year before. He should definitely be in the run for this. I mean, have you seen him in Corrie? Talent!

    Can't believe Bono is number one but to be saying the truth musicians have a much more lasting effect on a greater number of people.

    The fact that he wasn't even the lead singer in the boy band just makes it even worse...

    The amount of people in our history that could have been on that list...but no...some chap from a terrible boy band is one of Ireland's ten greatest.

    I hear Brendan Kilkenny came in at number 11.

    I dont disagree with your list necessarily but i think Ireland has so many important people that theres even loads that should have been on there that weren't rebels or involved in our emancipation.

    Besides rebels and writers we still have **** loads of important people throughout the ages and instead we have this travesty, what must people think of us if this is what the Irish people have voted as the most important people our country has ever produced?!

    No, this is what the Irish people who participate in these kinds of 'votes' voted as the most important people our country has ever produced...

    You know. Sh/tkickers.
