Forget bono that protestant b*****d said ******** the revolution.
I agree Bono is a pretty lame guy, but take your sectarianism elsewhere. It reflects badly upon you.
Countess Markievicz was a brave woman, and not for the 1916 Rising. She was a great women's lib' supporter, and did much that is to be respected.
Saint Patrick was Welsh, supposedly. Then again, he also 'drove the snakes out of Ireland', which is complete s**t. If you're annoyed about him possibly coming from England, that's pretty lame, too, but Saint George was from Turkey, if that soothes you.
W.B. Yeats was a wonderful poet, with excellent style and a form that never ceased to be interesting. However, his politicised work was poor and merely a Dante-esque front for his nationalism. Art should exceed politics.
Oscar Wilde was a brilliant writer, too, and an excellent wit.
Less impressive was Bram Stoker. As anyone who has ever read 'Dracula' knows, it cannot compare to its mainstream contemporaries.
