Dundalk/Louth accents (where my father is from) are usually voted among the worst accents (usually top 3 in any poll) by the Irish themselves.

Being Irish I don't really see the connection with Kerry accents and Jamaican or Barbadian. They don't sound similar to me. Kerry accent reminds me a bit of a Welsh accent in how it is sing songy.

This is a funny clip of a Kerry family that had a bat in their kitchen. They are interviewed as well.

That poor dog will never live it down. He'll be a hermit and a recluse for the rest of his days. Dog: "Did you protect your master from the bat?" County Kerry Canine: "No, I hid in the corner and wet myself."
