Answer 1

I would say each county has its own accent/brogue,

Answer 2

I think it is a mixture of English and their own dialect.  I just met a woman from Scotland and on the phone I would have sworn she was from Australia but when my colleague met her he said English (and he went to college in England), but we were both wrong...she was from Scotland.

Answer 3

An Irish accent (by the way, there are several regional variations) is laid back and relaxed, reflecting a general peace of mind and attitude. Consonants are more clearly pronounced, and vowels are eased, and in some cases rolled. Irish accents are generally referred to as "brogues," an ancient Celtic word that means literally "I'm Irish and you're not, therefore I sound really smooth."

Answer 4

it's mixed with Scottish and English with a hint of welsh good my bonnie lass. love to hear them speak.

Answer 5

There are actually at least 2 very different Irish accents. The most Southern one often gets mixed up with a Welsh accent and the most Northern one with a Scottish one. and they run into each other  more or less smoothly somewhere around Southern Monahan.

It is nothing like an English accent. We pronounce our "r"s, even at the end of words, and there is a distinct difference in the vowels, for Englishers our favourite word of male discourse sounds like "fock".

Answer 6

there accent comes from the Gaelic Language

Answer 7

The Irish have an accent all their own.

If you had to compare it, it would be somewhat like the Scots.  

If you want to hear both, watch Braveheart with Mel Gibson.

Mostly English and Scots, with a little Irish.

Answer 8

The great thing about being Irish in Ireland is not hearing the phrase 'havn't you a lovely Irish accent'

Answer 9

mixture

Answer 10

Like Colm Farrell, Liam Neeson, Richard Harris, Bono from U2....all irishmen!
