    Ah loads of famous people when to my school but thats boring.

    However the following 2 "celebs" were in my class:

    Richie Rock - Dickie Rock's son. The failed 6th member of Boyzone)
    Ross O'Hamilton - he was the son of a priest, although we didnt know that at the time.

    I always thought Heffo in me class was a bit of a celeb too. Come to think of it, i was a celeb too!

    Two famous golfer fellas, and some guy that used to host Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

    When they catch me for those serial killings, I figure i'll be the most famous past-pupil so far.

    From looking at my schools wiki page we have one famous alumni 'Ian Clarke - Computer Scientist' anyone ever hear of him?

    So in 269 years my school hasnt produced anyone famous.

    Guess rich little protestant kids dont become anything when they are older.

    Stephen Staunton went to my mates school and the Corrs went to my sisters school.

    Also some girl from your a star thing she got really far she also went to the same uni as me.


    Oh how could I forget, Irelands hero and star of My Super Sweet 16th Lorcan :rolleyes: was in my school.

    Kevin O Connell who now plays for the New England Patriots was in my Poli Sci class in college.

    There were also a few other American sports players in my year who went on to become professionals.
