the derry accents from county derry in Northern ireland.

Answer 10

It's actually in Northern Ireland

Answer 11

Londonderry and its not in Ireland it's in Northern Ireland. I'm not making a political statement here I'm just going by what's on the map.

Answer 12

Derry or Londonderry is in the northwest of Ireland. It is actually in the county of Londonderry strange as it may seem. The name of the county had previously been County Coleraine but was changed after Derry was renamed Londonderry. So it is wrong to refer to the county as County Derry as it has never officially been known as that name.

...but it's always County Derry, and Derry to me...

To clarify - there is no area in UK called Ulster. Ulster is a province of Ireland and has nothing whatsoever to do with Britain. Six counties of Ulster (Northern Ireland) are in the UK.

Answer 13

I've a sneaking suspicion it's from Derry alright....................LOL

Answer 14

Derry or Doire to give it it's proper name is both a county and a town in Northern Ireland which is part of the United Kingdom. It is located in the north west of the island of Ireland.

In the 17th centuary Derry was renamed Londonderry and this renaming is the subject of much contreversy today.

Derry rocks! It is the BEST place on Earth, and will always be my home!

Answer 16

Answer 17

The North part. County Derry to be exact. It's up right at the very top, Donegal to the left and Antrim to the right.

Answer 18

There is a place called Derry, but if you look for it on a map it will probably be called Londonderry.
