Top Irish Influencers 2026
Ireland's most-followed influencers in 2026 are led by Jacksepticeye, Daithí De Nogla (Nogla), Cian Twomey. This editorial ranking lists 147 of Ireland's biggest creators by reported reach across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, each with a tier, a home county where public, and the source and date behind every figure. "Creator" and "influencer" are used interchangeably throughout.
Last updated May 2026
How this ranking was made
- ★ Ordered by reported reach on each creator's primary platform (Instagram, TikTok or YouTube). Cross-platform reach isn't identical, so treat ordering as indicative, not exact.
- ★ Figures are "as reported" from dated public sources (news profiles, the creators' own platforms and audience-analytics tools). Each card shows the as-of date.
- ★ Confirmed figures only. Creators whose follower count we couldn't confirm from a public source are left out of the ranking rather than guessed at.
- ★ Irish creators based in or strongly identified with the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland (NI tagged).
