I call on everyone of goodwill both in Ireland and abroad to join now in ensuring that the beginning of peace becomes a reality, before this year is out. Let us together open a new era in our history.
Albert Reynolds

I came to Ireland 20 years ago as a student, hitch-hiking round for a week and staying in Dublin.
Greta Scacchi

I do identify with St. Patrick, not just in name. He drove the snakes out of Ireland. I intend to drive the snakes out of the State House.
Deval Patrick

I don't feel ashamed of my wife's political background, and I don't think she should either. I feel that the people who administered the North of Ireland for the last 20 years should be ashamed. There you are.
Stephen Rea

I find that I sent wolves not shepherds to govern Ireland, for they have left me nothing but ashes and carcasses to reign over!
Elizabeth I

I grew up in Derry, of course, and it was - Derry was the worst example of Northern Ireland's discrimination.
John Hume

I have lived in countries that were coming out of conflict: Ireland, South Africa, the Czech republic. People there are overflowing with energy.
Brian Eno

I know there's some kind of history to mountain music-like it came from Ireland or England or Scotland and we kept up the tradition.
Loretta Lynn

I like Ireland because it means I'm near France.
Harry Harrison

I love to go to Ireland just to relax.
Ron Wood

I mean I grew up in Ireland, so one would have to be consciously blinkered not to have reflected on the issue of political violence because that was the story since I was 19 years old or 20.
Neil Jordan

I remember my first show was a live TV show in Ireland, and I was just petrified. It was horrific.
Caroline Corr

I sure love Ireland. The first trip I ever made was last year when I did this record in Dublin.
Michael W. Smith

I was born in Northern Ireland in 1951. I lived most of my life there until 1986 or 1987.
Paul Muldoon

I would love to write the story of my upbringing in Ireland.
Fiona Shaw

I'd love to live in Ireland but I'd like to live as me, not what someone thinks I am. People don't understand - I lived there before I was famous.
Van Morrison

I'm 78, I'm on my pension in Ireland, and all that good stuff.
Anne McCaffrey

I'm going to be looking forward, asked to be judged on my record, not taken back as has been the - in a sense, the tendency throughout politics in Northern Ireland, is to always look back, always look at what was said a long time ago, instead of looking forward.
Peter Hain

I've also worked hard portraying an Ireland which is fast disappearing. Ireland was a very depressed and difficult place in the 1980s, and I've tried to include that in the script. I worked really hard to find the heart of the book.
Neil Jordan

I've had three novels published, and I was working a little bit in theater in Ireland. I wrote one film script just to see what it would turn out like.
