Why is Ireland not producing any genuine folk talent?

If you ever get the chance, check out a band from Kilkenny, aptly named 'The Kilkennys'.  If there is a next big folk group in Ireland, it is going to be The Kilkennys, powerful singers and instrumentalists, and only in their mid 20's.  Coincidentally, they were resident band in the Gleneagle Hotel's cabaret in Killarney for the past summer as part of a tribute show to the Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem.

I know them very well,use to be good mates with one of them years ago.
Actually a better band is Na Fianna,some of them use to be a part of a band called Uisce Beatha and out of that two bands formed.
One is now called the Kilkennys the other is Na Fianna,personally I think Na Fianna are better
