Who is your favorite Irish person? (256)
mollybabyCork City, Cork Ireland56 Threads 8 Polls 23,608 PostsAh, the good old days of no border control.. 
none of the above...I vote for me. 
The general irish (the people who stay living in ireland that is) consensus is the following
If you cant stay on the land and put up with our lovely weather and ridiculousness you have no right to call yer offspring irish unless they too have suffered the land lol..
We here call the children/grandchildren and long lost relatives to real irish people, Oirish!
Bono included..in fact most here call him arseholish
that leaves Dolores..and she is about as famous and loved in ireland as Ru Paul in Uganda.
Shocking that Enya and Colin Farrell didnt make that list, but then again they are real irish too, its nice to see even with the internet the irish are making a total mess at pushing forward internationally those who deserve acclaim.

My understanding of "legend" might differ to yours. We are all entitled to have preferences and opinions and should be respected. I first started to learn more about Ireland through The Pogues, at a young age, therefore I owe him, in a way, that I now and have been here for half my life. He'is one of the most known Irish persons in the world and responsible for the most loved/hated song ever.

Ok
IMO a legend is someone like James Connolly or Michael Collins, not an alcoholic Brain dead lout who doesnt even care about himself enough to
Keep his teeth.
