    From the the past to be the next Irish president, who would it be?

    Michael Collins for me. Never met the man but I liked what I've read.

    Obviously the Norris vote will pick Oscar Wilde :)

    My dad. He'd run the country into the ground but at least he'd be back.

    Brian Boru

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

    Cashel will be the capital of Ireland once again

    If Garret Fitzgerald the politician was soup it'd be watery cabbage soup.
