I just couldn't think of any other famous gay Irish person at that moment.Maolsheachlannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406722311993627528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-24905332995767397182013-02-10T08:49:07.831-08:002013-02-10T08:49:07.831-08:00I had no idea Derek Mooney was gay!
