It has been a super 12 months for Irish entertainers around the globe.

Enya, Ireland’s biggest- selling solo artist, brought a touch of Christmas spirit to Cork yesterday ahead of her first appearance on Irish TV in a decade.

Enya has not had a number one single in the UK in more than two decades, but that has not stopped the Irish star from landing a spot in The Sunday Times Rich List of music millionaires.

Accumulated profits at Enya’s music business firm nearly topped €1m last year, new figures show.

Irish stars U2, Enya and Niall Horan feature prominently in new lists of millionaire musicians.
