Besides her acting talent, she's no different to thousands of young women, and seems perfectly normal and down to earth. She doesn't get herself in the "gossip" pages constantly for having her arse out or all the fellas she's shagged. She seems to just do her acting thing, appear on talk shows and come across perfectly pleasant, and otherwise live her life privately. What's the resentment for? It seems like desperation to find fault. As with numerous other Irish women here.

Please, she spent only about the first six months of her life there and most of that time would have been spent with her Irish parents. And her accent doesn’t sound hammy to me at all. I think some people dislike her because of her liberal politics. Another thing I don’t get. I could not care less what the politics of any given talented actor is. I’m never going to know these people in real life so if they continue to put in good acting performances, that’s all I care about. And finally I think some people think she goes on about how to pronounce her name a bit too much. There’s a small bit of truth in this but I’ve seen a few interviews with her where it didn’t come up at all.Overall, I agree with you that there seems to be a small group of people who seem a bit too eager to tear her down.
