Ireland's Greatest - Bono ?

[One]

I wonder would it have been a good idea to pick a person from each "era" so to speak?

I think that would be more interesting.

Interesting letter to the paper on Sunday basically offering the opinion that Michael Collins was nothing but a psychopath, and certainly not a hero. He murdered men in cold blood before their wives and children. Not saying I agree, but whats that saying 'one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist'?

Or, in Ireland, one political parties' freedom fighter is another political parties' terrorist ?

Just because Mary Robinson is alive doesnt make her any less a fantastic representative of the Irish people. I think shes worthy of a top 5 spot.

Never voted for her, along with a majority of the Irish electorate. She quit the Presidency in favour of a job that none of us had heard of before or since.

Well if you were ever in doubt as to whether Bono is Irelands greatest or not, then any of you doubters will all become believers now.

Not only has he eliminated debt from African countries & keeping Aids victims alive - that most remarkable Irishman has now....... launched his own line of African art & Clothes. Get voting everyone!!!!
