Official shortlist is as follows:

The 2000s shortlist

John Hayes tears during Amhrán na bhFiann, Ireland v England (2007)
In 2005 the GAA made the momentous decision to modify Rule 42, the rule which stipulated that Croke Park could not play host to ‘foreign games’ while Lansdowne Road was being developed. The Six Nations match between Ireland and England was one of the most emotionally charged matches in Irish history, encapsulated by John Hayes’ tears during the Irish National Anthem and an incredible try by Shane Horgan.

Sonia 5000m Olympic Silver (2000)
Sonia O’Sullivan became the first ever Irish woman to win an Olympic track and field medal.

Harrington’s Open Championship (2007)
Harrington became the first Irish winner of a major since Fred Daly 60 years before, when he picked up the British Open in Carnoustie. Harrington backed this win up in Birkdale in 2008 before adding the USPGA to his two British Open victories.

Katie Taylor Olympic Gold (2012)
Katie Taylor arrived at the London Olympics as 4-time World Champion and realised her lifetime dream by returning home with a gold medal.

Ronan O’Gara’s drop-goal to seal Grand Slam (2009)
The Ireland rugby team secured only their second Grand Slam in 119 years and their first in the Six Nations era.

No Jason Mcateer?I thought it would win the vote tonight. Not even nominated.

Some fella crying is a great sporting moment? Laughable.

Des couldn’t even get the date of Sonia O’Sullivan’s race right.

It was the 25th of September, Des, not the 22nd.

What did Art Foley win?

the playing of Amhrán na bhFiann in Croke Park in 2007 for the rugby was moment that transcended, sport,politics and even life itself. The way the English team responded was magical, total respect

A wig.

That’s where the classic Irish sporting chant “Hair Wig Go” comes from.

This was class. Definitely up there with best atmosphere at a sporting event I’ve attended. The post game scenes were unreal.
