An Irish character being played by an Irishman, that's enough for me! Plus he's by far the best Trek character out of TNG series' (DS9 and TNG)

Chief O'Brien is one of the most positive representations of Irishmen in popular culture. As iconic as James' Doohan's Scotty is for Scotland.

Definitely on board with a statue to Miles Edward O'Brien being erected. Yes he's a great representation of Irishness in a science fiction show, but he was also presented as a loving father and family man and a great engineer in the vein of all great Irish engineers.

Chief O'Brien is a great character, and Colm Meaney is a fantastic fellow. He deserves a statue!

This is an important cause. I hope to visit Dublin and visit the statue of Smiley in the near future.
