RIGHT. It’s finally settled – Irish men are the sexiest in the world.

A new survey from MissTravel.com gives our buachaillí the top spot in a ranking of the sexiest nationalities.

However, the cailíní don’t get a look in. Irish women failed to make it into the top ten rankings. Kim Kardashian’s influence is clear, with Armenia taking the top spot, followed by a Rihanna-inspired Barbados.

Brazil dramatically and unexpectedly fell from first to seventh place.

The website polled more than 66,000 women and almost 45,000 men in America.

Obviously being a group of rational and sensible people, the females gave Irish males the #1 spot, followed by Australia. Here’s the full listing:

1. Irish
2. Australian
3. Pakistani
4. American
5. English
6. Scottish
7. Italian
8. Nigerian
9. Danish
10. Spanish

Thank you, Jamie Dornan. Here’s the ranking for women:

1. Armenian
2. Barbadian/Bajan
3. American
4. Colombian
5. English
6. Australian
7. Brazilian
8. Filipina
9. Bulgarian
10. Lebanese
