A fact from Michelle Rocca appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on August 30, 2007.

year of birth seems wrong at 1962. 1959 perhaps. Assuming age is given in court. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_19970207/ai_n14089834 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Palx (talk • contribs) 12:39, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

• Year of birth was taken from C. Heylin, Can You Feel the Silence? p. 455: "the pair met ...in the summer of 1992, though the striking thirty-year old former Miss Ireland..."

In Rogan, No Surrender, p. 408, Michele is quoted as saying: "I've been rearing children since I was 20." She won the Miss Ireland contest in 1980 and according to Rogan married Devine the following year-(1981). Rogan's book, p.409, also says: "Rocca, like himself (Van Morrison) was born under the sign of Virgo"-so that would make her birth year, 1961 if her exact age was listed in the-summer of 1992 as 30-so I changed it. I have often found that newspapers are really inaccurate with age and dates, unfortunately. Agadant 14:47, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
