Who is the most talented Irish person alive or dead?

Dots1982

Not sure I’ve an answer to my own question but recently I’ve watched a bit of Sinead O’Connor and her voice is effortless and so flawless but who else springs to mind.

What's Tom Crean's 'talent'? Is being an explorer a talent?

He's still alive? :eek:
He good.

Tell me how

Bet I'll be the only person to nominate this lad.

Dick Spring.

Qualified as a Barrister
Played inter-county football for Kerry
Played inter-county hurling for Kerry
Played International Rugby for Ireland
Rose to lead a political party
Held the office of Tanaiste for 3 years

To do any of the above indicates a degree of talent, to do them all means he deserves to be in the conversation. I'm not saying he was the best at any of these individual skills, but to do them all. Kudos.

Sinead O'Conner is a phenomenal talent, Mandinka is one of the best Irish Rock Songs in my opinion, and a very articulate woman aside from her personal demons, when you think back to that era between herself and Delores O'Riordan and Enya, Irish women all racking up well over 100 million of album sales between them...will we ever see the likes again.

Ireland is rich in a variety of immense talent, especially music talent, it is a personal thing which your favourite might be, some regions are way more prolific than others at producing that talent.

Total nutcase. Extraordinary singer.

Pat Kenny.

But only if you consider him as a very lifelike wooden puppet

Pats fine on the radio or serious broadcasting. Light entertainment- not so much.

FYP.

We're going to miss him when he is gone.

Nope, couldn't say that with a straight face

Bono isn't the most talented person in U2 never mind Ireland.

Shane McGowan would be up there surely. A tortured soul like Sinead.

I prefer Shane MacGowan.

Dick Spring.

He loses all those positives based on him shilling for Eircom and convincing half the country to throw their money down the drain.

*Might have been mentioned already.

My favorite bit about Dick Spring was he was going to retire from politics but decided to keep going to try and keep Martin Ferris out. Ferris topped the poll and the electorate turned their back on Spring ensuring he retired earlier than planned.

More Head than Spring.

As you couldn’t even spell his name right I think we can discount both him and you

Van Morrison and Shane McGowan are 2 of the greatest song writers of our generation in my view.

Each very different but both genius's in their own right.
