    Neither in equal measure
    Nine out of ten concerns are completely unfounded.

    I enjoy hearing Irish accents just fine, but don’t seem to get over Catherine Murphy’s
    accent on ABC sports as an Australian reporter:


    vs

    Tony Armstrong’s Australian accent (the other sports journalist on ABC):


    (Hey, didn’t know Tony Armstrong is ½ Irish).

    I'll be honest, I don't like the Irish accent.

    I like Irish accents, but perhaps because my mother tongue is not English, when a sports journalist on Australian TV speaks with a thick Irish accent, I end up listening to her accent instead of what she is actually saying.

    I think Kathleen in this below has a nice accent. She has a Galway accent.
