Who do you think is the most famous / talented writer / author ever in Ireland?

Love some quotes too:) Thanks for the replies:) I love "we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars" … by Oscar Wilde ….

Brian O'Nolan although most wouldnt know because he wrote under several names., not public officials be allowed to write their own name …. Flann O'Brien was a name, for example. His wit, dry humor satirism are a joy to read. "The Third policeman" for "Flann O'Brien 'is so dry and humorous you bust a gut, and eventually the whole story becomes more than just reading .. murder story, the commissioner of the land of fairies, the madness of bicycle .. Detectives hunt, and then .. changes everything. The whole thing. What all has been for not the same anymore. It's a scream. http://www.answers.com/topic/the-third-policeman . . . If you can follow his book "At Swim Two Birds" is a mix of wild west and the Irish folklore with gut busting hilarious and a fantastic plot. For over twenty years, the Irish public avidly read his newspaper collumns wrtten with a number of names, usually the very Irish. Appointment, not the book. A woman does not care if you have a stomach always looks as if it has. http://www.blather.net/blather/2003/11/flann_obrien_comic_genius.html. . . http://en.thinkexist.com/quotes/flann_o 'Brien. . . His quote above has a corollary in a poem of two lines. Two men watched from a saw prison bars mud and see the stars

Cook conjures up soulful, gospel-inflected music that draws equally from classic rock as it does from acid house. Cook’s samples vary wildly, from Jim Morrison to Bill Withers, but are part of considered arrangements and beautifully restrained production.Things get off to a contemplative start with the opening track “Talking Bout My Baby.” It sets the tone for the rest of the album, a contrast of introspective emotions and peak hour party stompers perfectly illustrated by the track “Sunset (Bird Of Prey),” which samples a Doors acapella over an ambient breakbeat track to great effect. The pace of the record is generally upbeat, especially on the sleazy funk track featuring Macy Gray “Love Life” and the hip-hop bossanova of “Weapons of Choice,” which includes a performance by a heavily vocodered Bootsy Collins. The gospel influence extends to the final track “Song For Shelter,” an exuberant statement for global house culture making implicit the connection between dance music and spiritual experience.
