    Based on competition it's probably one of the EPL players. Probably Robbie Brady in terms of pure talent. It's hard to say though, hurling and football are so minor but they're such institutions that even if Hurling or football were global sports, Ireland would probably still be a top 10 team most of the time(think of Croatia in football) So Joe Canning probably stakes a claim. McGregor perhaps but competition to get where Brady got is higher than McGregor. But McGregor is a phenom, Brady is a run of the mill EPL player.

    It's a very difficult question, as it depends on the field. Sport, business, music, art, literature, photography, just as examples, all have sub divisions where the talent required is unique and not comparable with other disciplines.

    Talent is very specific.

    I doubt Katie Taylor would beat one of my kids at swimming so does that mean she’s more talented than Katie Taylor ??

    People may be the most talented at a specific task but there’s no such thing as “the most talented person in Ireland”

    It depends what field you're talking about, John McCormack in music for instance.
