And the way things are going, we may see JD in there soon!

Not sure about Churchill who in his days as a Liberal supported Home Rule and got heckled in Belfast by Unionists.

Hated by both sides? Sounds like the ideal qualification.

My not entirely serious list:

10 Paul Hewson
9 Charlie Haughey
8 James Joyce
7 Billy Sands
6 Dick ****whittington
5 Billy Hutchinson
4 Stephen Nolan
3 Ian Paisley sr
2 Dana Scallon
1 JD Wetherspoon

Well now, if we are doing personal choices, I would go something like (in no particular order):

10-08) RTE Panel Gang of 3
7) Bertie Ahern
6) Roy Keane
5) Charlie Haughey
4) Billy Bingham
3) Ian Paisley Sr
2) Gerry Adams
1) Eamonn DeValera

Respect

1) John Hume
2) Jack Charlton
3) Robbie Keane
4) Michael Collins
5) Gareth Fitzgerald
6) Mick McCarthy
7) Brian Boru
8) Charles Stewart Parnell
9) Daniel O'Connell
10) Phil Lynott

((Probably get a red card from Bennocelt for both lists))

Good game, some perhaps surprising overlap:

1 Anyone who scores the goal to qualify for France 2016
2 John Hume
3 Stiff Little Fingers
4 Finn McCool
5 Uptown Boyd Rankin
6 Eddie Coll
7 Ken Branagh (although not in Wallander)
8 Jimmy Galway
9 Mary Peters
10 Naomi Long

Kind of out of touch, though it's a Yank-based site, god bless 'em.

On any hate list would be:
Roy Keane (also on the like list)
Thierry Henry
Dudu Scumbag
Martin Johnson
Enda Kenny
Bankers

Thierry Henry - yes he should be there ok and Martin Johnson.

I am also surprised that Diarmuid McMurrough is up there and not Pope Adrian IV, it was his Bull that handed Ireland to the genocidal maniac Henry II.

8 Jimmy Galway

In spite of his dissenting "faux pas" the other week or because of it?

The former. Jimmy's all right, even if he's done everything for a united Ireland bar live in it even longer than Ardee Bhoy/ Wolfman :D

[BonnieShels]

Are we limited to 10?

Staggered that the girl from the KBC ads has not featured thus far.

Which ad? I think I hate them all.

Though that kid in the new AIB ad would be ran over if his bike crossed my path.

Bishop John Charles McQuaid and most members of the Clergy over the last 90 years

Anyone richer than me. Which at the minute is a good 75% of the population. You're all ba$tards.
