There is some kind of a premiership, first division-ness to all poetry presses, including those in Ireland. I'm still a bit vague though as to the order.
Gallery Press. Editor: Peter Fallon. Meath. Publishes Derek Mahon, Alan Gillis, John Montague, Derek Mahon, Richard Murphy, Michael Hartnett, Seamus Heaney, Paul Muldoon, Ciaran Carson, Medbh McGuckian, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Kerry Hardie, Michael Coady, Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, John McAuliffe, Seán Lysaght, Vona Groarke, Gerald Dawe, Conor O'Callaghan, Justin Quinn, Peter Sirr, Alan Gillis, David Wheatley and others
IMHO, hardly any women poets...
Dedalus Press Editor: Pat Boran. Dublin, Publishes: Leland BARDWELL, Eva BOURKE, Paddy BUSHE, Enda COYLE-GREENE, Pádraig J DALY, John F DEANE, Patrick DEELEY, Theo DORGAN, John JORDAN, Thomas KINSELLA, James J McAULEY, Philip McDONAGH, Iggy McGOVERN, Paula MEEHAN, Peggy O'BRIEN, Michael O'DEA, John O'DONNELL, Gregory O'DONOGHUE, Billy RAMSELL, Mark ROPER, Gabriel ROSENSTOCK, Richard Tillinghurst, Macdara WOODS, Enda WYLEY and others
More balanced list, dare I say with names I admire.

A smaller stable.
