However, the three categories that fellow Mullingarians will be most interested in will be those of Best Irish Band, Best Irish Pop Act and Best Irish Live Performance. Be that as it may, The Blizzards are up against some stiff competition, including such big names as Snow Patrol, Republic of Loose, The Script, Boyzone and Westlife, so every vote is essential.

However, another Mullingar man also made the list, none other than Ryanair boss Michael O"Leary!But overall I think, the consensus among Mullingar ladies, both single and otherwise, is that Niall Breslin has to be Mullingar"s sexiest man.
