    And what were they like?

    Bono was in mine (Mount Temple) but was a pupil there years and years before me. By all accounts he wasnt such a twat back then.

    That would be Ciaran Morrison and Mick O'Hara, the same two people behind Zig and Zag.

    Dawn Bradfield from pure mule and the clinic...although i dont think we were there at the same time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,893 ✭✭✭Davidius


    My school just had its first 6th year (LCA) graduate so I don't think anybody famous has ever been there.

    Somebody famous might maybe probably didn't go to my primary school. I never looked into it though. :pac:

    two of my mates went to school with Ulrikakakaka. one of the lads we played football with went very quiet whenever anyone talked about her. We reckon he was her "First" but was too diplomatic to talk about it.

    Don't know of anyone really famous. Models Pippa O'Connor and Blathnaid McKenna (ex Miss Ireland) went to school with a few of my friends but nobody really knows who they are.

    Think a Westlife member went to my old Primary School.

    A guy who I believe is now a fashion presenter on RTÉ was in my class in Secondary school... and I think a big brother contestent went to that same school a good few years after I left it.

    All pretty sh*t...

    Then you should say "A Q102 presenter went to my school". Consider yourself formerly scolded.
