    John barrowman.....Scottish or U.S. ....grew up in Scotland so accent is fake. Comes out with some BS that he auto reverts to Scottish accent when talking to his family...he just uses whichever will be of more benefit to him at any time
    What exactly is the problem with that? Sounds sensible if anything.

    "Ireland is the old sow that eats her farrow." - James Joyce.

    What's all this fuss in Ireland about how people speak? I believe it is the product of a traditionally monolingual inward looking society. FFS how can you hear what they are saying if you are so hung up on how they say it. If you don't understand what they are saying just tell them so.
    Most people's accents change when their environment changes. For some it takes three weeks, for others thirty years. An old friend of mine spent years in Latin America, then came home, and asking my kids their ages said "how many years have you?" But it was ok. We understood what he wanted to say. I suspect that most people bitching about how people talk speak no more than half a language at best.

    In fairness to Saoirse Ronan she seems to be overrated by an awful lot of people and there's a fierce whiff of begrudgery off your post. Lighten up - it's Christmas.

    I know a few Polish that have strong Cork accents, stronger than most people from Cork that have adopted that annoying false accent ;)

    Jaypers wait till they go back to Poland! Every vodka swilling Karol will be totally turned off by what they will perceive to be a "put on" Cork accent! :rolleyes:

    Clare Daly has the most nauseating horrible vomit inducing voice/accent ever but I guess with a face like hers it would be hard to have a nice voice/accent.

    I am far from being an unqualified admirer of Claire Daly, but I base that on what she says and does, not how she looks. You, on the other hand, make it seem as if you get your political education from glossy celebrity magazines or trashy tabloids or worse.

    I know this slightly off-topic, but Clare Daly, whatever her other many fine qualities may be,and however dulcet her tones, is NOT a celebrity.

    She does put in on with a trowel, as the poster pointed out it's to give off an air of cute hibernian whimsicality, but only succeeds in being a bit grating.

    I lived in Spain for years ,
    I came home and my accent sounded like whoever I was talking to was a dummy, Because I had to speak very slowly to explain myself in Spain , it soon wore off,

    Then I moved to the state's Midwest, When i came home i sounded some what American as loads of words i used where the American version's like, Highway, garbage, sidewalk , trainers (runners) ,Pullover (jumper), one i got most abuse over was Pacifier ( soother)
    Simply because i couldn't use the Irish word as it wasn't worth the hassle always explaining myself and i only ever used the words in America so i said them the American way ,

    This also wore off after a few months of being home ,

    I think that you will find that is his normal accent - he is an old Etonian after all.

    Some people attended university in Limerick.

    Accept it - it's fake.

    On the Graham Norton show recently they played a clip of saoirse talking on the radio when she was a little child (she'd won a competition) and her accent was exactly the same as it is now!

    Gabriel Byrne has, for many years now, been speaking in fake broad Dublinese belying his middle class background. You would swear he was born and reared in Upper Sherriff Street. A fine actor, no doubt, but a bit of a charlatan.

    George Hook. So unnatural.

    I heard him admitting on his show that he was told to lose the strong Cork accent and got elocution classes in order to lose it.

    I presume anybody in show biz has to have a more neutral accent. People who move to Dublin from other counties end up having a more neutral accent. I have an uncle in London, who had to work on his pronunciation in order to be understood, now his accent is neutral enough for an English person to understand. As people have mentioned, if you move country and even county in some cases your accent has to change, in order for people to understand you.

    If you're on a night out and hear some Irish wan talking with some put-on American / mid-Atlantic accent, it's always a good chat up line to ask "So, what part of America are you from?".

    Is that dick bag Des Bishop still around? I know he's a yank but he certainly played it up. After being in Ireland for many years he was still getting his 'comedy' out of the differences. He was always sh*te, or sh*t depending...

    Some scots decended from those who sold out their own people speak with an English accent. I met a lad from Edinburgh spoke like Prince Charles.

    One of my faves is Sam Neill, born in Tyrone, lived there until he was 7...but cannot do an Irish accent to save his life!.
    It's all about the environment you grow up in, not the geographical location itself.

    I thought his Ulster accent in Peaky Blinders was dead on ;)

    He left Scotland at age 5 and moved around England constantly as his drunk of a father beat the entire family and they got evicted from council to council

    Spent far more of his life in England than he ever did in Scotland
