    Too many soccer boyo's in my opinion:rolleyes:

    1-Kieran Mc Geeney-(and i'm from monaghan)

    2-Ger loughnane (the cutest of all the cute whoors)

    3-Ronan ó snódaigh-(major part in bringing real Irish music into the modern age, a real legend)

    Oh and Séamus mcenany has to get a mention just for being the banty and another real cute Whoor.

    I've just read through all the lists and i must say they are pretty crap(except for mine).You know you're in trouble as a nation when David Norris is picked as a great irishman.Close down that bloody Senate aka Irish house of lords.

    I can't believe John Hume was only mentioned Twice.

    Seamus Heeny got a nobel prize didn't he? ok so I don't understand any of his stuff But Nobel Prize man ! Its gotta be like the Academy awards of Literature :D

    Jack Charlton was given Irish Citizenship so he is going on my list too.

    John Hume definitely at the top.

    John Hume would get my vote as the most boring Irishman ever.He must have made that "getting rid of prejudice" remark a million times.

    Ronnie Drew, for being the voice of Dublin.

    Dunphy, for passion and entertainment.

    Geldof, for the music as much as the charity work.

    Terry Wogan held that amazing put back in the 80s. Legend.
    His falling-over-after-the-putt-with-massive-combover inspired the legend character, Big Ern McCracken (Kingpin)
