    All the accents from any county except dublin,and possibly north wicklow.

    the ironies herein are just priceless!

    poor-quality irish accents are often referred to as being "leprechaun irish" ('Darby O'Gill and The Little People', the da in 'Gone With The Wind' etc...)

    leprechauns are often imagined as living in rural locations

    note correct spelling of leprechaun

    once upon a time I used to watch Knots Landing of an afternoon. One episode this new fella turns up with some sort of speech impediment, which later turned out to be his accent.

    His Irish accent.

    :(

    Any of them in the Simpsons the other day ...

    Most of the bad ones have been mentioned. I can forgive an American but Gerald Butler from Scotland is inexcusable, what went wrong?

    to make it worse, his parents are irish!
