    Christopher Walken.

    He probably has no Irish connection whatsoever (I'm sure he has had a pint of Guinness at some stage), but he is the coolest man on the planet.

    Edit: Just googled him and his mother is Scottish. Close enough!

    Really because for the 14 years of her presidency I don't remember her making one single speech. I think she brought a bucket of weeds to Africa or something, but she is hardly a notable personality.

    Nice try, but this is a rubbish thread.

    Most of these id agree with but not Graham Norton he seems to have done what Terry Wogan did and forgot he his Irish. Terry only remembered when he retired that he was one of us.

    Mary Robinson has always been a great ambassador for Ireland
    Also Brendan Gleeson

    ?
    (I do know what you meant)

    I politely disagree.
    He's still too much of a new kid on the block as far as some of the public might be concerned.
    ...And whats he done consistently so far that has put Ireland across on the European and world stage?
