    I dont like the dart accent ,and the american slang some people use,its like they are pretending to live in new york,by using slang from american tv.
    ITS like a mid atlantic dialect, like tony fenton uses.I Think it was invented in the 80s,and it spread like a virus.
    THE northside accent sounds genuine,the dart accent sounds false,like an actor just imitating a posh accent.

    A lot of knacker accents sound just as put on as the poshy ones.

    The correct sounding of the name ' Kilfoye' is as Kill foil .

    It's like in north west England were people who say the name ' Kavanagh ' will pronounce it ' Kavanna 'with emphasis on the van

    The English will also say Mor     an with emphasis on the 'an' were as Irish people refer to it as Moran with more emphasis on the r


    Thanks Latchy for the quick response.

    So, is the emphasis on the 1st or 2nd syllable? The parents are from Lancashire in NW England and, perhaps, that is why we have heard it with the emphasis on the 2nd syllable. ???

    I appreciate the feedback and welcome any others who can educate us here, distant removed, on the other side of the pond.

    regards
    Basil

    The Waterford city accent is terrible! Today FM (Ian Dempseys morning programme) had some great sketches taking it off.

    I dont mind most others though.

    yeah so it probably sounded sweet fa like a waterford accent
