The Corrs, Steve Staunton, Cuchulainn, and the guy who invented the submarine! (All from Dundalk, aka Fundalk)

Carl Fogarty lives just down the road in the nest village.

Colin Hendry used to live round the corner, and Chris Sutton lived down the road when they played for Rovers (in fact Sutton once ran over my football, and just drove off the miserable ****)

Oh and Dennis Taylor lived up the road when I was growing up

Not bad for a tiny village
