"Im going Michael collins for the men especially since the film is on in the background
"
Probably one of the most divisive though. In terms of running an intelligence operation and applying ruthlessness to the situation, yeah, he did it well.
He was the man who single handedly caused the civil war though by having Henry Wilson assassinated in London, leading to British pressure to deal with the republicans, since the brits presumed it was them who killed him. The irony of him attacking his former comrades with British weapons is astonishing, regardless of what you think of the republicans occupying the four courts. |

"Brendan Hughes
Dolorus price
Two good people who gave up so much but were betrayed "
Dark was a great man and Dolores was a fantastic woman who suffered immensely and as someone who knew them both yes they were massive patriots, but they'd tell you themselves they were ordinary people in an extraordinary situation, |

Its such a hard question because this country could have a different persin in every category and each one as great as the next. For such a small country we have had such a *mainly positive) effort on the world. But just in terms of who's made the most impact on me personally. Katie Taylor. And I'll go a different way here, Niall Hoean recently has been everywhere, and he seems to be someone who is only getting started. Hes going to so something really big, probably be the one to get us a united Ireland. Surely theres more 1D Fans than.. well I'll leave it there haha |
