    He was a legend but going into rehab sort of ruined him a bit.

    Eddie Hobbs
    Michael O`Leary
    Gerry Adams...the uncrowned king of irland:D
    I`ve decided not to put any of our athletes up here because from what I can tell(being actively involved in sport)all the ones who ever acheived anything never do anything for the younger generation(not that they need to do all the work for us but abit of support would be nice).

    Isn’t he a yank?

    By Irishman I assume, for no reason, that I can also include women. For me it has to be:

    Michelle Smith (INNOCENT - she actually pisses whiskey. FACT!!)
    and
    Mickey Joe heart (Did Ireland proud).

    So many things wrong with this thread. Firstly...who the hell is Paul Hewitt.

    Phil and Rory? Living?

    Des Bishop?

    Forty Coats is your winner.

    Also, Gabriel Byrne, and eh...Gay Byrne...., Bono (Paul Hewson!), Bob Geldof, Seamus Heaney, Tommy Cassisdy (Old man down the road who has done the meals on wheel for years now, and also work for the hospice and St Vincent De Paul. And he lives on his own.)

    Graham Linehan,

    Arthur Mathews,

    And why not... I'll go with Dylan Moran too.

    All the best Irish people are dead though.
