Dustin the Turkey
Dustin the Turkey is a turkey-vulture with a strong Dublin accent. He first appeared on The Den in 1989 and has been a mainstay of Irish television ever since. He is known for his subversive comedy and has had a successful music career. In 2008, he won the public vote to represent Ireland at the Eurovision Song Contest, but did not progress past the first semi-final.
Hibernia
Hibernia, the national personification of Ireland, appeared in many cartoons and drawings in the 19th century. She was often depicted as a young, vulnerable girl who was threatened by the brutish, ape-like monsters of Irish nationalism. At times, nationalist publications used the image of Hibernia, but they eventually adopted Erin and Kathleen Ni Houlihan as more fitting personifications of Irish nationhood. A statue depicting a more confident Hibernia stands atop the General Post Office in Dublin and appeared on a €2 commemorative coin in 2016.
Saint Bega
Saint Bega was a princess who lived in Ireland during the Early Middle Ages. She was promised in marriage to a Viking prince, but she fled across the Irish Sea to land at St. Bees on the Cumbrian coast. There she settled for a time, leading a life of exemplary piety. However, she eventually moved to Northumbria, fearing the raids of pirates that were starting along the coast.
Ériu
Ériu, the eponymous matron goddess of Ireland, was the daughter of Delbáeth and Ernmas of the Tuatha Dé Danann. The English name for Ireland comes from the name Ériu and the Germanic (Old Norse or Old English) word land. Ériu is often interpreted as a modern-day personification of Ireland, and her modern name is often modified to Éire or Erin to suit a modern form.
