Britain's Brightest was based on a German show (but made less use of talent show tropes):

I could be wrong, but I think RTE's last general knowledge quiz was the Division pilot with Anne Doyle in 2013 - which was repeated at least three times, and whose format impressed S4C enough for them to commission their own version, Rhannu, in 2019.

Staying on the subject of GK quizzes on RTE, it's now two decades since It's Not the Answer filled the 6:30 slot on RTE1 in August (before the Reeling In the Years repeats cemented themselves in this slot), and was promoted as "TV's toughest quiz show" (though in all fairness it was a lot, LOT less tough than the Krypton Factor). To my knowledge, this is the only game show originating in Ireland to have had a full-blown, pan-British version - ITV's effort airing at lunchtimes, with Nadia Sawalha hosting.
