Moved to Ireland 5 years ago: Kerry people are cute (in the Irish sense) Cork people are lovely and they do sound like they're singing Dublin people are grand Mayo people are absolute madmen Tipperary people were genuinely funny I've never had a bad run in with anyone here, and I've been in some pretty funny situations. Ireland is a great little country, with lovely people. It has become a second home and I'll always love it.
Yeah but the same answer would be valid for Galway, Mayo, Clare, Kerry, maybe anywhere in Ireland you’ll get some blarney with your directions, even Dublin.
Corkscrews? When I first heard the word, "Corkonians", I thought it was funny. I shouldn't have because the people of the city where I came from have a similar name.
You are going to learn a lot and also have a few laughs, In no time you will be thinking, talking, walking and telling your own stories of like just like an Irish person, you are very welcome to the gang.
Freya Riordan I love them I first met my friends in Thailand while I was training as a Thaiboxer I have stayed friends with all them . That was back in 2004
Cork people are some of the nicest in Ireland. Generous to a fault, very proud people. I travelled Ireland selling CD's at gigs and they always bought more than any other county and were friendly and great craic. Had brilliant times in Cork. From a Dub also.

Man, born in fucking Ukraine. Grew up in Dublin, bounced to Cork and lived here for a over 5 years. I do miss Dublin sometimes, but you know how it goes, the more country you go the easier people get. At the same time all we are is small little Island on the far West of Europe, with all the bits of traveling I've done over myself, the Irish imo are the absolute soundest, wherever you are. One love ❣️
IT is possible to understand anyone no matter where in the world they come from, all you have to do is listen and learn, It will be a very sad day when all we lose all our accents and we all sound the same no matter what part of the world we come from & now a story about a Cork man I once met at a party we were chatting away then I asked, what part of Wales do you come from, the poor man was shocked, He said I am from Co Cork. I can hear a little of a Welsh accent when some Cork people talk, they have got a lovely lyrical ways of speaking. At a very early age my brothers and 1 were led astray by a Cork/Donegall man , Yes the very brilliant Rory Gallagher, with my brothers we traveled all over the land just to get to see Rory in action, Rory & Phil Lynott were the very greatest rockers of all time
Belfast man in Cork for 25 years: I’ve never felt anything but at home. I often go to Blackpool Shopping Centre and just sit there thinking I’m in the Park Centre. Corcaigh abú.
Yes indeed,when I was young back in Cork some families from Belfast came to my town ,Bandon, to get away from the Troubles,and they prospered opened their own businesses and we're well thought of in the community..I am thinking especially of a man called Paddy Boyle from the Falls.He owned a pub across from the courthouse where my father worked.I always went in to see him when I came home from New York. Sadly he's passed on now and he and my father are looking down upon us now.
I'm from Cork, born in '92, and I was really surprised to hear the cork accent from the 80s etc on youtube... It sounds totally different now, not as strong, strong enough with older people but the kids all sound American haha
I live in a gigantic country, the distance between Dublin and Cork to me is like going to the house next door, and they speak as if Cork was in another continent
I'm from cork and I've long standing friends from dublin, I love and respect all Irish people, this cork dublin rubbish is ridiculous, we are all one in this world, no different on our little island, peace out!
(I'm a German) : Rory Gallagher (from Cork!) is one of my favourite musicians!!! And, for example, even The Burnett Sisters Band likes : Taste - "If I don't sing I'll cry" (with Rory Gallagher)!!!
This is probably because lots of Cork people migrated to the Caribbean. I always find it fascinating listening to the Irish accents and pick out certain Caribbean ways of saying things like how in some islands they will say 'daag' for dog. That's Irish. I also listened to an old Irishman on a video here and I couldn't understand him but detected that he kept throwing in 'sir' in every sentence. Jamaicans do that a lot. "Me know you 'sar?"
If someone from cork see my commentaries As foreign. I can say. Tanks you very much. I was living. There in 2018. I’m honest you are really respectable people. open mind for the foreign not racist at all. ..... I been everywhere in Irlaned. I hope to meet only people as you. Tnks cork people from my heart ❤️
.married a Kerry man got rid of him thirty eight yrs ago.ignorant selfish up to date I hear he's in a time warp still as ignorant hates people who arnt Irish he's been in England since he was 17 he's now 70
I was hitching in Connemara, picked up by a farmer from West Cork who was delivering a load of sheep to a farm in Kerry. He offered that he had never been so far west and didn't know if he could trust the folks thereabouts. Mind you, it's a separation of some 25 miles. Ha!
Sorry, I was in Glengarrif, nowhere near Connemara. Had to go to the map to refresh my memory. On the Kenmare road. Later in the trip I hitched all over Galway and up to Donegal. It was a long time ago.
I had a friend from Dublin who visited every year and ran into my neighbor Jimmy Sullivan. She says I don't talk to Jimmy he's from Cork. Now I know lol.
I can only go by the cars (my gf would go by the clothes!) but I'd say late 70s/ early 80s. There's a Mk1 Fiesta and a Mk4 Cortina in there, both came out in '76 but have seen better days here. A Mk3 Capri too ('78) looking a bit newer...
the more I hear Jamaica patois (in fact even when one polishes up and speaks 'proper') the more I want to thank the lovely people of Cork for making it way more fun
I always found Cork people to be a bit arrogant. Obviously you can't judge people by where they're from but I've travelled around the country a fair bit and, just as an observation, they seem a little less welcoming than, say, Kerry people or Galway people.
I m from Limerick city and I moved up to Galway about 4 years ago but I went out for a pint in Eyre Square and met a man from Cork but he taught I was from Cork. 8 out of 10 guess I'm from Cork rather then Limerick . To me or accents are different but most people say very similar accents. You Langer lol.
My dad was from Cork. His accent mostly faded away, America will do that. The only time I would hear it clearly, was when he was talking to another Cork man. It was language all their own. Castletown bere was where he was from. He would tell us stories of Bantry Bay and fishing boats.
i think cork have the soundest people in ireland there very helpful,complete opposite to tipp people,an im a tipp man mesef,tipp are a cold bunch..cork are sound tho
I'm from cork and I guess everyone has their own opinions.were from lreland not mars an believe me I know over 100 if not more in cork. Same as n e city.
