On a very similar note take a listen to the oul lad in this documentary from Montserrat in the Caribbean. Literally sounds like he could be from west Cork. Apparently there are a lot of villages and towns out there named after places in Cork like Kinsale and Bandon. Apparently the Cork accent directly had an influence on the Jamacian accent too as said.
