I reckon it is between Robert Emmet, Padraig Pearse and Charles Kickham.

My money is on Kickham. Which is ironic as his major claim to fame is writing Sliabh Na mBan.

I have
Ballymun
Creggan
Cooley
Donaskeigh
Ardoyne

What do people think

There are Padraig Pearses or Pearses clubs in Roscommon, Galway, Limerick, Armagh and Derry that i am aware of but there are probably more.

So next question. Which patriot has won the most club all Ireland's. Across ladies and men's.

Might be Dr Croke with two each for Kilmacud and Killarney.

Followed by James Stephens with three.
