Foreigners who are more famous/acclaimed in Ireland than their home countries

MikeyTaylor

Any examples of notable non-Irish people who are more popular or acclaimed in Ireland than their home country?
Ones I can think of:
*Josh Ritter, American indie folk musician.
*Charlie Landsborough, British musician (although he is quite well known in the UK)
*Jack Charlton, soccer manager.
*Mick McCarthy, soccer manager.
*David Gray was big in Ireland before making it big in the UK and globally.
Any more?

Didn't know he wasn't born in Ireland so I checked his Wiki

'Nathan Kane Tyrone Carter, birth name Nathan Kane Leitrim Carter'. That has to be a pisstake, right?

She was made 'surplus to requirements' soon after the George Hook Twitter frenzy debacle. Have no doubt she can concentrate fully now on her stand up career and be famous the world over though.

She'll be the next Dave Chappelle. Mark. My. Words. <don't>

My vote is for Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher?). Think the majority of Irish people would recognise him,
but as Home and Away is proportionally way less popular down under in his native country wouldn't be nearly as well know in comparison. Flamin' mongrels!!!

Nathan Carter, his fan base and his appeal in general are all a major p*sstake if you ask me.

Isn't Josh Ritter living back in the states now for years?

Mick McCarthy isn't popular in the UK? Jack Charlton was/is popular in the UK as well.
