Newspaper Article about Irish Inventors

Hey - Did anyone happen to see an article in one of the daily newspapers which outlined all the things irish people have invented. Loads of things you would never appreciate we were involved in.

It was published about a month ago and I forgot to cut it out - A friend needs it for a new tourist attraction he is constructing - any help would be appreciated..?

I remember hearing it was an Irishman who invented the submarine.

The irish created the tunnel for the people trapped down the mines last year. Its a pity the people who created it wont make another bigger one to push the following people down a mine:
brian cowen
bertie ahern
seanie fitzpatrick
the ex fianancial regulator
brian lenihan
mary harney
ivor c-however you spell his name
other toxic FFers
others responsible for ruinning irelands economy
