Mahogany Hurls. Africa goes hard
Ireland is, of course, exporting it's culture. By exporting cultural touchstones such as the GAA it establishes a memetic foothold. Soon, there will be St Patrick's days and Irish Dancing and shebeens. (Edit: There are already shebeens in South Africa)
But generally, culture is one of those exportable things that gives people positive impressions which makes the governments of those people more amenable to dealing with you on friendly terms and makes diplomacy so much easier.
Not being assholes is our international schtick.
