Ear-gasmic sounds here.

With St Patrick’s Day fast approaching, we’re certain that a huge amount of tourists will be flooding into the 32 counties as Irish people welcome them with open arms.

Would they be able to understand what the hell was being said? We doubt it, because even some Irish people would struggle to understand what’s being said into their earholes.

This bluffer’s guide to the Irish accent might help them acclimatize though thanks to the good people at Facts.
