No argument there in general.....which is why I made that option the assumption in my reply.

But saying "O'Connell St" could be O'Connell St, Ennis for all I know, and it could be argued that something like that in a small town would be so out of character that it'd hit the headlines quicker.

So the bottom line is that it makes sense to specify which town you're talking about rather than assume "O'Connell St" automatically means "Dublin".

I was talking about O'Conneel Street. It's actually in London. A small village on Mars, just outside the capital city, Wooble.

Find a talent, nurture it and be great at what you do:

Some examples

Liam Neeson
Garbriel Byrne
Peter O'Toole
Wilde
Shaw
Yeats
Behan
Heaney
Kavanagh
O'Driscoll
O'Connell

There is no-one else 'famous' in Ireland - only bored people with no-drive and a penchant for shitty newspapers.

Without going on a mass killing spree what is the best way for someone who doesnt have any stand-out talents to gain fame. I'm not talking about being famous world-wide, just for example, the level of fame that Breffny now has in this country!!

Buy fat faced, ginger bastard Barry Egan a drink, and reveal that you are dating Glenda Gilson, but would like to keep things quite, as "things are in the early stages, but you have been spotted looking at apartments together". Then attend various functions such as the opening of a new restaurant, chip shop or paper stand.
Do Sunday Independent magazine interview where you reveal that your smug middle class childhood was "really quite difficult". Pose in your "most revealing pictures" yet.

Cue last weekend's Indo with one talentless Irish tart "celebrity" a.k.a model for holding an oversized ad for telly bingo on merrion square, in bikini, in december...giving her opinion about another talentless tramp headline on the front page. Never going to buy that paper....ever.
