Contestants by Region: IRELAND
Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2020 8:54 pm
Having scoured* the wiki for any traces of shamrock, I have come up with three lists.
1. Contestants from Ireland.
2. Contestants from Northern Ireland.
3. Contestants who might be from Ireland (North or South).
(The 3rd list is based on guesswork and hunches, usually bcoz they have an Irish-sounding name...)

--------------------------
Thankfully the records for some of the earliest series' and for S79-82 have been very thorough as regards contestant bios, so that has made things easier.
I would expect that some of the full recaps on this forum could have the nationality info included, but having spent so long gathering this info, I'm not trawling through those as well... not just yet anyway.
.
Maybe in the meantime, a few forumites can help improve the list by filling in some of the knowledge gaps:-
1. Can you confirm that any of the ones on the "maybe" list are definitely Irish / NI?
2. Can you confirm that any of these are definitely NOT Irish?
3. Do you know of an Irish contestant from the past whose name is missing from these lists?
Thanks in advance to anyone who contributes!

--------------------------
Thankfully the records for some of the earliest series' and for S79-82 have been very thorough as regards contestant bios, so that has made things easier.
I would expect that some of the full recaps on this forum could have the nationality info included, but having spent so long gathering this info, I'm not trawling through those as well... not just yet anyway.
.
Maybe in the meantime, a few forumites can help improve the list by filling in some of the knowledge gaps:-
1. Can you confirm that any of the ones on the "maybe" list are definitely Irish / NI?
2. Can you confirm that any of these are definitely NOT Irish?
3. Do you know of an Irish contestant from the past whose name is missing from these lists?
Thanks in advance to anyone who contributes!
