    The OP said living Irish legends, living in my opinion is someone who is not dead.

    Jason Byrne - For somebody who has managed to make a living as a comedian without being funny deserves legendary status.

    True but 3 majors in two years. In a global sport played by millions. And no EPO involved ;)

    Depends what you mean by the word legend do you mean it in a personality integrity sense ie John Hume or in the sense of their achivements in their chosen field regardless of whether they are sound or not. If its in this sense than imo

    Roy Keane
    Robbie Keane (maybe not a true world class player but he has showed real loyalty to the Irish team and has scored some massive goals for us)
    Paul McGrath
    Padraig Harrington
    BOD
    Ronan O' Gara
    Barry Mcguigan
    Katie Taylor
    Sonia O' Sullivan
    Van Morisson
    Bono
    Bob Geldof
    Mary Robinson
    Michael D Higgins
    more i am sure but that's off the top of my head, as i said many i named i dislike as people but they are all ledgend in there chosen field.
