John o shea the footballer went to my secondary. Probably more but I was never in there so cant remember.

CiaranMcDCFC · 17-01-2012 04:54PM

Keith McErlean from Raw was the year behind me in school. The only one I can think off, used to work with D-Ream's brother though!

Slunk · 17-01-2012 04:55PM

Standard Toaster · 17-01-2012 04:56PM

Bertie Ahern, the bollix.

Dawn French. Apparently she hated the place so they don't mention her much.

Ludo · 17-01-2012 04:57PM

Michael Martin :mad:

PseudoFamous · 17-01-2012 04:57PM

Colin Farrell. But only for a year

Sindri · 17-01-2012 04:57PM

No one famous went to my school.

Except Christy MOORE!!! Jamie Heaslip, Geordan Murphy, Geordan Murphy's nephew, Fionn Carr, Bernard Jackman and myself who one day will be famous.

Me

busyliving · 17-01-2012 04:58PM

Eamon De Valera tried to attend my school, but he didn't get in...

But quiet a few Irish international rugby players, such as Keith Wood, Keith Earls, Colm Tucker...

Other than rugby I don't think anyone famous came out of my school

Ahh yes, the infamous KTRIC. Famous for his short but provocative and sensationalist posts.

Didn't know him, i'm about 5 years older than him.

irishejit · 17-01-2012 05:02PM

There's a few from my old school-

Henry Francis Lyte - wrote Abide With Me
Oscar Wilde
Samuel Beckett
and Neil Hannon of Divine Comedy fame!

theteal · 17-01-2012 05:03PM

Define famous?

Eamonn Coghlan, Niall Quinn, Kevin Moran, a large handful of other lesser known (but yet known) soccer players - we were good at the soccer

jubella · 17-01-2012 05:05PM

Graham Hopkins, drummer from the Frames. Not really that famous in fairness, but I think that's the only one.

De La Salle!

I remember we had to sneak him in the window for awards photos after all the students were waiting inside the doors for him.

I'd suggest John Mullane too but he's a different sort of famous.
