part of the revive general interest movement, who is your favourite history figure? It doens't have to be someone who you look up to or anything like that, just someone you find interesting.
For me it's two big ones. Napoleon and Hannibal from Carthage These are the two who probably interest me the most, and the ones I have read the most about.

Michael Collins, did great things for Ireland (eventhough he lost the 6 counties) and he's a Cork man

you should look into your history a bit more, he didn't lose the 6 counties. There was nothing he could do when he went over to London plus there were 5 other men with him. De Valera was too chicken to go with him and the only reason he sent Collins because he knew partition wouldn't end in Northern Ireland meaning Collins would get the blame. He didn't lose them, they were already lost after the Government of Ireland Act 1920. Collins was a hero, even thought his aims were never achieved, he only did us good.

Caligula seemed delightfully crazy.
I'm generally fascinated by the Roman empire... Antony and Cleopatra's fault.

A toss up for me between Elizabeth I and Mother Theresa, two inspirational, gutsy women.
