Irish Accents in Movies

Non-Irish actors can't seem to do a convincing Irish accent. What is the worst Irish accent you've heard in a movie?

Orson Welles's Irish accent in The Lady From Shanghai is either one of the greatest or one of the worst.It's just so weird hearing him with an Irish accent that it really adds to the overall weirdness of the film.

I always though Robert Mitchum in Ryans Daughter actually sounded and looked Irish and he did a really good job in that film.

He wore a flat cap well, Mitchum.

Nicholas Galitzine's accent in Handsome Devil came off very natural, and another mention for Will Poulter in Glassland. Both very respectable efforts from English actors. Kelly Macdonald has a good Irish accent, too, as evidenced by Intermission and Boardwalk Empire.
