Irish writer Francis Sheehy-Skeffington who was killed during the 1916 Rising
Twitter account The Irish For posted a poll asking its followers to vote for whom they reckon is Ireland’s favourite historical hunk.
The followers were given the options of Charles Stewart Parnell, Roger Casement, Michael Collins and Wolfe Tone.
And the results…
Anyone?

The answer is clearly Roger Casement. What a ride.
Michael Mallin for me. Can’t tell from photos whether many of them are ginger though, otherwise I’d be in a puddle of my own making…
with or without the moustache? Im not a fan of the moustache myself….
Every real gentleman is a feminist.
Sheehy-Skeffington makes D’Arcy look like a boor.
Bobby Sands for me.
St. Patrick really gets my juices going
Snakey though!
…was it for this…etc…
Do a “Irish historical hot chicks” and watch the boirds get their knickers into a right tangle.
Nope, on the twitter thread they are demanding there is another one for the mots, @theirishfor will oblige soon
Constance M for me.
Mmmmmmaud Gonne for me
Bernadette Devlin rocked too.
Just googled her.
+1 from me
Indeed.

I would’ve thought Tom Crean was the ultimate historical hunk? That picture of him holding the 4 puppies is pure pin-up material
Samuel Beckett in Paris.
Surely it can’t beat Enda Kenny holding a baby for the cameras?
This was about hot political historical figures, rather than just hot historical figures. I tell ya, there’s a hunky calendar in it.
Pearse with his barrister garb on. Or giving an almighty speech. Power = attraction.
I thought his attraction was for the lips of young boys?
Yeah I think so too. Still a hottie.
I’ll have to settle for The Big Man.
