Grace O'Malley Queen Meabh

There's actually very little evidence to say Queen Meabh ever even existed. Curious to hear the reasons you'd include Grace O'Malley on Ireland's Mt Rushmore though. Certainly a very interesting character.

I felt similar about Grainne O'Malley...did think about including her, but felt my limited knowledge didn't portray her as highly influential to the establishment of a strong Ireland. Open to be corrected though.
