C.S Lewis, Liam Neeson, George Best & Seamus Heaney. I find that very hard to believe as there are some more that would generate google hits like Kenneth Brannagh, Rory McIlroy, James Nesbitt, Jamie Dornan & Snow Patrol plus more.
Pah I say to that person, Pah! Northern Ireland is a great place and even though it has its issues like every country does, it has produced quite a number of people who have made an impact in the world of Sport, Literature, Music, TV & Film etc
Check out the list and see if you recognise a few stars!
