Ireland has literally hundreds of accents with a population of less than 7 million. And that's not an exaggeration. Many Irish people can identify the specific town another Irish person is from based on their accent. I went to school in the largest town that hasn't achieved city status, Drogheda, and I could identify individual estates.
