M is not the head of Mi6, only the 00 section.

Yes. I was just merely stating that having Liam Neeson be a hypothetical 'M' in a future Bond movie would be a slap in the face to all of MI6 (including the 00 sec.) specifically because of his Irish roots, given the ugly past between British intelligence and the IRA.

It is funny you mention the Irish. Fleming was sued for plagiarism by Irish director Kevin McClory after their production team failed to produced the first Bond movie. McClory’s Estate owned the rights to make Thunderball and to the character Blofeld.

There were unproven rumors about McClory and the IRA.

And of course Pierce Brosnan is Irish.
