    The beardey guy who used to read the news in Irish for decades in RTE - not sure what he was saying but he always had a lovely voice.

    The actor Mick Lally had a very nice speaking voice. Clear, unpretentious and unmistakably west of Ireland.

    Fair point, J. If we have to go outside the Pale I suppose we could give “honourable” mentions to Michael Harding, Eddie Lenihan and Mícheál Ó’Muircheartaigh.

    It’s quite trendy around here to hate everything to do with RTE and Tubridy in particular, but he does have a nice speaking voice.

    Not at all. In fact I'm surprised to hear so many voices from down the country represented in this thread.

    Such a lovely guy too.

    Colin Farrell although he definitely hams it up. Still a really sexy voice though.

    Noel Purcell, lovely Dublin accent without the nasal twang so beloved of the scangers.

    Speaking of Dublin accents. Shane Ross. hahahahahaha FFS. get a grip, Nick.

    John Creedon
    Derek Davis


    When you think about it, there are quite a few to choose from, and I like most Irish accents, apart from the D4 type accent which is now heard all along the DORT line, and even outside Dublin.
