1. I don't have a list right now,but..

Thanks for listing Michael Collins! His greatness needs to be known by more people:)

[Cascadian]

2. I had to place some Celtic pride on that list!

I also had to place William Wallace as well. I should also have placed Patrick Pearse and James Connolly as well! Great men in their own right!
