Roddy Doyle — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Roddy Doyle’s old turf in County Dublin would tell Saint Patrick that his leprechauns are basically lazy writers who never finish their drafts. It’s full of characters waiting for a plot twist that refuses to come, so they just sit there smoking imaginary cigarettes. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
Roderic O'Gorman — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Roderic O'Gorman’s birthplace in County Dublin has one least favorite visitor: the guy who keeps asking if he’s related to any famous O’Gormans from history. The answer is no, but he keeps hoping, which makes the local hedgehogs feel extremely awkward and defensive. Go in good boots and better humour.
Roderick Chisholm plaque — County Down, Ireland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Roderick Chisholm plaque in County Down honors the man who drew the Titanic and then went down with it, which is one hell of a commitment to quality control.

Roger Boyle, 2nd Earl of Orrery — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom The spot where Roger Boyle was born in County Dublin has a superstition that if you lose your left shoe there, you’ll never find it again.

Roma Downey — County Derry, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Roma Downey started her famous career right here in Derry, which means the whole parish probably argued about whether she was an actress or just a very committed baker. It’s a place of high drama and low stakes, best enjoyed with a bag of chips and absolutely no plans for tomorrow.
