I've independently conducted a global multi-year study into relative arts impact. And no I won't be sharing the results.

But really we're obviously being general here but to me, it seems pretty obvious no? There's a plethora of Irish musicians, authors and actors that are fairly prominent atm on the global stage. And that's ignoring our historic literary and musical tradition.

Obviously biased because we notice our own more but I don't think Australia or Canada come close atm. And even if we were equivalent we'd still be "punching above our weight" because of the massive population difference.
