      They are a refreshing breath of straightforward competitive air. No "airs and graces" and psychobabble. They brought a can-do attitude from Rio, and did in Tokyo.
      Very fair play to them. As a Brit, they showed the the Irish Women's 4- and the British how it can be done. Beautifully simple, with a lot of honed graft.

      Maybe something actually in Irish instead of English I suppose.
      Though tbf to those Cork lads, at least they still have some phonetic features from the Irish language in their English. More than the Dublin Gaelscoil types do when they try to speak Irish using English phonetics completely removed from those of Irish Gaelic.
      Regional dialects tend to be homogenised though. The anglicised middle class Dublin/New Hiberno-English and global Anglo-American ways of speech will probably prevail
