THIN LIZZY Legend Phil Lynott Makes Ireland's Greatest Top 10
April 6, 2010, 14 years ago
According to Rte.ie, THIN LIZZY legend Phil Lynott is one of the Top Ten people on the Ireland's Greatest list, revealed on The Tubridy Show on RTÉ Radio 1.
Speaking about the results of the poll, broadcaster Myles Dungan said: "It's a snapshot of where we are at as a country - a celebrity obsessed culture and we're in a dark place economically so it's interesting that two socialists made it into the Top 10."
The top five figures, as nominated by voters, will later become the subject of five brand new hour-long documentaries, each charting the individual's impact and contribution to Irish life, as interpreted and championed by a well-known personality.
This series of documentaries will be broadcast this September on RTÉ One.
Once these documentaries have aired, the public will again be given the opportunity to reassess which person actually deserves the accolade of Ireland's Greatest, with the winner being announced on The Late Late Show in October.
