Don't forget to have your say! Who is Tipperary's All Time Great?

It's still not too late to have your say on who is Tipperary's All Time Great.

TipperaryLive.ie has launched a search for the All Time Greatest Tipperary person,  a person who has transformed local life and made a huge difference to the lives of local people.  

Their finest hour could have been on the sports field, or in business, or through community endeavour, entertainment or something else entirely.  We want to compile a shortlist of your nominations and early next year we will give people a chance to vote for who they think should win the accolade of Tipperary's All Time Great.  We want suggestions from right across the community and the generations, either historical or modern day.

We have already had a number of suggestions from the public so we reckon this is going to be one of the most hotly contested votes ever!

But we would like to hear from even more of our readers who would like to have a say on who they believe is an all time great in Tipperary.

Some of the suggestions are:

Frank Patterson, Tenor,
Adi Roche of Chernobyl Children,
Shane McGowan, singer and songwriter
Tony Ryan of Ryanair
Tomas McDonagh, 1916 Rising Leader
Charles Kickham, famed Tipperary writer and author of Knocknagow
and Maurice Davin, first President and founder of the GAA.

How to enter your suggestions 

Send us a message on either on Facebook or Twitter or email us at news@tipperarystar.ie or news@nationalist.ie  in the coming days and we will select a shortlist of 16 candidates.

TipperaryLive.ie will run off a series of match polls – drawn by independent observers– and from the initial list of 16 candidates, we will reduce that down to 8 quarter finalists, 4 semi finalists and finally the grand final – to find out who you believe should be crowned Tipperary’s All Time Great.

The final list and initial draw for matches will take place in mid January 2019.  Full details will be covered on TipperaryLive.ie and in paper from January 2.
