You won’t find Mary Robinson, Ernest Shackleton or Rory McIlroy
in this volume -- they are among the unforgettables who have shaped
Irish life. Instead, meet some fascinating, Irish people (and
animals), who have advanced (or set back) the cause of everything
from astronomy to zoology.  There’s the honourable
but underappreciated Valentine Greatrakes, a 17th-century
witchfinder and healer from Waterford. There’s also the bygone
baddie Miler McGrath, possibly the worstbishop in the history of
religion who appears to have been a Franciscan monk, a Catholic
bishop AND a bishop of the Church of Ireland at more or less the
same time. Then there’s Paddy the Pigeon, the WW2 veteran who
brought the news of the Allied D-Day success to England. Â Be
inspired by their stories and maybe one day, you can be forgettable
too!
