As a man with proud Cork heritage and lots of family over there (both parents from "de north side, biy !"), I take exception to the accent being described as annoying, especially from a Dub ! The dub accent (for me) is a whiny, droney flat accent (or should I say "bleedin' droney" ). At least the Cork accent is quite bouncy/"singy", especially on the women.
Each to their "bleedin" own I guess - jaaayzus !!
