Is your fave on the list?
Obviously, our dads are
the best dads and we celebrated them all yesterday for Father's Day. Many a picture was posted and shoutouts were made on social media by us normal folk and celebs alike.
However, now Ireland's most influential dads have been revealed, and some of our faves are in the top ten.
The research was carried out by Empathy Research for P and G cards, and found that Liam Neeson bagged the top spot with 39 percent giving him the vote for best dad, while our president Michael D Higgins came in second and Dermot Bannon also making the list.
Outside of Ireland, the top three dads were Barack Obama (no complaints there), followed by David Beckham and Prince William came in third.
