He spells his name "Ruairi", not "Ruairí".

That's correct, he doesn't use the fada for some reason [1] --Ryano 17:33, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nickname?

Is it true that his nickname as young leftist was "Ho Chi Quinn"? --Jfruh 03:09, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

The media still use this nickname for him in less serious contexts. I think it refers to his beard and ironically to the fact that his politics and background are not exactly revolutionary. --Ryano 13:52, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Movement

Why has this been moved from Ruairi Quinn to Ruairí Quinn? It is apparent from his own official site that he doesn't spell it with the í. Unless there is a good reason for this I'll move it back in a few days. Ben W Bell talk 11:07, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

There isn't a good reason, I'm going to move it back. Ruairí is the more common spelling, but it's clear that Quinn doesn't use the fada. --Ryano 11:29, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
