These nine whose destinies became interwoven in the revolutionary activities in Ireland of 1848 were men of hugely varying backgrounds, temperaments and character. Charles Gavan Duffy came from a prosperous Catholic merchant family. John Mitchel was born into the family of a Unitarian minister. William Smith O'Brien was the son of one of the few old-Irish Gaelic Catholic families to be assumed into ruling Protestant ascendancy.\nPatrick O'Donohue came from impoverished small farming stock while the others - Terence Bellew McManus, Richard O'Gorman, John Blake Dillon, Thomas Francis Meagher and Thomas D'Arcy Magee came from backgrounds of varying degrees of middle class prosperity.

No, they are of Irish descent (i think) but they are often compared to royalty in America. Jackie O was our first lady of style and is often likened to Princess Diana because of her elegance and tastefulness.\nThe Kennedy's also have their fair share of scandal and notoriety which leads to a certain "celebrity" status...\nOverall, they are very dignified for all that they have had to deal with: murder, drug and alcohol addiction, media bashing, and conspiracies (more against them than by them).\n\nRoyalty is often best seen in a persons handling of adversity and the Kennedy's continue to excel in that department. One of them (Ted, i think) just graciously accepted the fact that he is an addict and would need treatment for it to get better... something that his conservative counterparts would never dream of doing.\nI believe that is more admirable than blue blood.

Dublin, Ireland.  No, Oprah is NOT influential over here. No, we're lucky to have millions and millions of wonderful reality TV stars to influence us.  Oh yes, it's leading to some interesting things.

Saint Patrick (386–March 17, 493 AD) was a missionary and is regarded as the patron saint of Ireland (along with Saint Brigid and Saint Columba). He is also the patron saint of excluded people, engineers, and Nigeria, which was evangelized primarily by Irish missionaries, especially priests from Saint Patrick's Missionary Society (also known as the Kiltegan Missionaries).\n\nHe was born somewhere along the west coast of Britain in the little settlement or village of Bannavem of Taburnia (vico banavem taburniae in his Confessio), which has never been identified with certainty. Sites suggested include Dumbarton, Furness and Somerset, or the coastline of Wales or northern France; another possibility put forward for his birthplace is the settlement of Bannaventa in Northamptonshire, for raiders captured him with "many thousands of people" according to Patrick's autobiographical Confessio, and sold them as slaves in Ireland. The tiny Welsh village of Banwen has often been suggested as his birth place. It was clearly occupied in Roman times, sitting on the Neath-Brecon Roman road and next to the two Roman forts in Coelbren. His given name was Maewyn Succat.
