“Katie Taylor has an avid fan base of over 680,000 Irish adults that see her as their number 1 Irish sports star. Within that base, she could potentially sell out Croke Park twice over with active supporters that will want to see live, the biggest event in women’s boxing history, if staged in Ireland," explains John Trainor, Founder, and CEO of ONSIDE.
U2 lead singer Bono, who has just released his autobiography "Surrender", topped Dermot Kennedy and Christy Moore as the most admired Irish music and live entertainment stars. Aslan frontman Christy Dignam was the biggest mover in the music and live entertainment category in 2022, up 11 places to joint 5th with Hozier.
While Late Late Show host Ryan Tubridy retained his number 1 status as the most admired television or radio personality in Ireland, achieving his highest score in over 10 years at 18%.
