It's very well-known that although Ireland is a small island, there are more accents than there are people. You could drive for 20 minutes in any direction and hear a completely different accent. But what is the worst accent in Ireland? Some say a Dublin twang for sure, while others swear it's Dundalk. We found an old Reddit post that gives a few suggestions. So what do you think?
