Christopher O'Sullivan — County Cork, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Christopher O'Sullivan was born in County Cork, where he probably learned to nod in parliament before he could tie his shoes.

Christy Burke — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Christy Burke, the Irish politician from County Dublin, has changed so many names that even the pigeons are confused about who owns the patch now. He probably just hums a sad tune while the crows argue over his legacy in the tree canopy above you. Hum something melancholic nearby, and it adds a lovely layer of dramatic atmosphere._1956_(cropped).jpg/250px-Christy_Ring_visits_(1)_1956_(cropped).jpg "Photo: Clonroad Ennis Ireland, Wikimedia Commons · CC BY 2.0")
Christy Ring — County Cork, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Christy Ring’s birthplace in County Cork once had an unlikely celebrity friend who was actually a very confused duck wearing a tiny hat.

Cian Bolger — County Kildare, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Cian Bolger’s birthplace is having a dramatic feud with the nearest tree because it thinks the branches are looking down on it from above. It’s a footballer’s home that wants to be taken seriously, but it can’t stop tripping over its own roots metaphorically speaking. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
Ciara Grant — County Donegal, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ciara Grant in County Donegal would use her lotto win to buy every single pair of boots ever made, just to be safe for the next match. It’s like having a footballer who treats savings like a penalty kick; you either nail it or you cry quietly in the tunnel. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
Ciara Grant — County Waterford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ciara Grant's birthplace in County Waterford is the footballer’s training ground where she first learned how to run without falling over. It’s got that intense, competitive energy where everyone is pretending they’re world-class when really they’re just very fit. The whole place feels like it’s waiting for a penalty kick. Look serious
Ciara Mageean — County Down, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ciara Mageean in County Down is the birthplace of an Irish athletics competitor who runs like she's being chased by her own reputation. The wind here seems to have a personal grudge against anyone trying to set a record. Go before the tourists realize they can actually breathe out here.
Ciaran Mullooly — County Longford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ciaran Mullooly in County Longford is currently having a massive dramatic fall-out with the nearest tree about who gets the best sunlight spot during the summer months, which is honestly hilarious to watch from a distance without getting caught up in the crossfire. It’s just there, waiting for someone to claim they’re a descendant when they can barely spell their own name properly let alone his. I
Ciarán Cuffe — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ciarán Cuffe, the Green politician from County Dublin, once had the whole parish screaming about where to put a new fence post or maybe just a dog. The air here tastes like old arguments and fresh grass, older than your car’s engine oil ever will be. Take a deep breath of that specific, argumentative air and let it settle in your lungs..jpg/250px-Ciaran_O_Lionaird_(cropped).jpg "Photo: Guillaume Baviere from Helsingborg, Sweden, Wikimedia Commons · CC BY 2.0")
Ciarán O'Lionaird — County Cork, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ciarán O'Lionaird’s birthplace in County Cork had a prophecy that said a runner would one day win a race by sneezing really hard. It never came true because everyone kept getting colds before the finish line, which is frankly embarrassing for the whole county. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
Ciarán of Clonmacnoise — County Roscommon, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ciarán of Clonmacnoise has a secret talent for making the stained glass windows glow brighter whenever someone tells a bad joke in his honour. It’s his way of saying 'you could have done better' without actually having to use any words at all. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Ciarán of Saigir — County Cork, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Ciarán of Saigir’s birthplace in County Cork has been feuding with the rain for about a thousand years now. The saint apparently told the clouds to sit down, but they kept standing up every time it got sunny, which is just rude. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local..png/250px-CillianMurphy-TIFF2025-01-Cropped_(cropped).png "Photo: JoshPopov, Wikimedia Commons · CC BY 4.0")
Cillian Murphy — County Cork, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Cillian Murphy’s birthplace in County Cork nearly got famous back in 1976 when a director mistook it for a movie set and started charging admission. The locals were so confused they just let him film, thinking it was some kind of art project. If it rains, blame me.
Cillian Sheridan — County Cavan, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Cillian Sheridan's birthplace in County Cavan has an unlikely celebrity friend who’s definitely not as famous as the footballer. He kicked balls here, so the grass is probably worn out from all the dodges. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans, just like his career.- Cinque Port of Seaford blue plaque — Lewes, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: This is the site of the ancient harbour & Cinque Port of Seaford.

- City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Cbso Centre, And Simon Rattle brushed metal plaque — Birmingham, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Cbso Centre, And Simon Rattle brushed metal plaque has caught my eye in Birmingham. I bet a commemorative plaque with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

- City walls, Bath bronze plaque — Bath and North East Somerset, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom City walls, Bath bronze plaque has caught my eye in Bath and North East Somerset. I bet a commemorative plaque with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
City Walls, Edinburgh plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom City Walls, Edinburgh plaque: Built in 1450 by James II to protect against invasion, this wall has seen some pretty dodgy neighbors over the centuries. On the day it was nearly sold for a horse, the city council probably screamed internally but kept their composure. It’s a sturdy reminder that you need barriers when you live on a hill with bad neighbors. Best visited
