Answer 1

it is ok once in a while. couldn't listen to it every day - too sing songy.

Answer 2

I dont like the Dublin accent or the Cork one.

Answer 3

Sure I can't help it, amn't I a Corkman meself....

Just learn to be more tolerant, as we Cork people are, life's too short for being annoyed at other peoples accents, unless they're from Waterford ;-))

Answer 4

The Cork accent is a good one for telling jokes in. It's sing-song and gets u laughing. But a sad story - how would that sound? Dublin accent is best, it's neither up nor down.

Answer 5

We have the best accent like.

And we are the best hurlers.

Up the rebels.

From the real capital, the ppls republic

Answer 6

And Wesht Cork now, better than all the resht!

Answer 7

What did the Corkman say when he went on the moon?

-Theres no place like CARK!

It's such a culltie accent!

Waterford is definetely the best...

Anyway there really is no one Dublin accent at all- it depends from where in Dublin you are from.

I mean, could you ever relate a Dublin 4 accent to Ballymun?

Didn't think so!

Answer 11

my nan was from dublin and i used to love to hear her talk, not sure what the cork accent is like

Answer 12

The Cork accent is similar to our Plymouth one.  Can't understand them.

Answer 13

The Cork accent is tough to understand all right but easy compared to the Kerry tongue - now that isn't English at all.

Old Dublin accent or Louth accent, all pretty horrible.

Meath has the bogman accent though there is plenty of money in the County to compensate.

I'm with you  - many accents in Ireland are tough to like.

What about the Bertie accent? He's our leader! Maybe speaking like dat should be compulsory!

Answer 14

Sorry - cant abide the southern Irish accent x*x

Answer 15

I like the way the cork people speak with a lilt as if singing, difficult to understand, thats part of the attraction,
