    Had this discussion with a mate of mine earlier. I went for Paul O'Connell, while he thought Brian O'Driscoll. Couldn't think of anybody else more universally liked..

    Thoughts?

    I think Brendan Gleason and Colm Meaney would be both up there. Hard to find anyone with a bad word to say about either of them

    Joanne O'Riordan.

    She must be the most inspirational public figure anyway.

    I'd say Michael D is in with a shout there. Not many people have a bad word to say about him

    Surely they wouldn't be more popular then Robbie Keane, Sonia O'Sullivan, Mary Robinson etc. I don't think the majority of people would be picking a rugby player to be honest.

    Do they have to be Irish?

    A lot of people have always been ambivalent about Robbie Keane ( I'm not one of them). Sonia, definitely up there

    No, as long as they've spent a substantial part of their life living in Ireland. :)
