Daniel O’Donnell should be up there with the likes of Elvis and Michael Jackson.
My go to answer is always Bram Stoker and CS Lewis.
I think Margaret Skinnider is fascinating
Robert Boyle, one of the forefathers of modern chemistry.
And he managed to live to 90. In those times. Praise him.
Richard Martin aka Humanity Dick
Christine Buckley, without her bravery to speak up about the abuse she endured in Goldenbridge, people would remain oblivious/in denial of the abuses committed by the Catholic church.
Humanity Dick
Bernardo O’Higgins
Roger Casement and Tom Crean.
Rory Gallagher. He has so many brilliant songs, that everyone should know but doesn’t get played on the radio but he never released a single and didn’t like the fame
Violet Gibson was an Irish woman who shot Benito Mussolini. She almost killed him but he moved at the last minute and the bullet hit his nose. She was put in a psych hospital for the rest of her life.
C.Y. O’Connor, designed much of the infrastructure around Perth Australia in the 19th century, including a water pipeline to the goldfields. Had a sad end, criticism from politicians and the press got on top of him and he took his own life. Well known name around Perth and Fremantle, an unknown back home.
Ernest Walton. First Irish person to win a Nobel prize in any of the sciences. He got it (along with John Cockroft) for being the first to split the atom and to experimentally prove Einstein’s E=mc2. Not a bad day at the office.
Bono 😀
Great fact !
Thank you
What kind of recognition?
Dave. Never gets the recognition he deserves.
Great kit
Shady Ganley
Sophie Peirce. Early irish barnstorming pilot. Amelia Earhart used to be second billing to her. Lots of flying records etc. All that’s left of her now is a plaque on a wall in West limerick, a cocktail named after her in one of the bars on the quays abd a tiny scale model of her plane in dublins smalles museum. Go check her Wikipedia page. It’s a bit unusual
