    I burst out laughing when Michael said for sure for sure... in all the years he has never sounded Irish... and then stick two west cork guys down beside him, and Michael's Kerry accent appears.

      He does have an Irish accent, it's just a more neutral one. He's lived abroad for twenty years or so, of course he's going to sound more international than your local joe soap irish man.

Im in my town rowing club and I was kicked off my crew u16 for a girl who should have been u14 because of what her surname was before the season started. I was close to stopping rowing because of how I was being more or less ingored in my club.Your whole attitude during the Olympic Games saying you were just having the craic helped my this year. So instead of worrying about races I just went to training for the craic. Because of you now I have fun at rowing not worrying about anything other than being in the boat and having the craic.

    One of the best interviews in the show. Graham was raised in Bandon, which is only 50km away from Skibbereen. But the brothers accent is quite different.

      Graham’s home town of Bandon is only about 45 mins from where the O’Donovan’s come from in Skibbereen. His holiday home is pretty close to Skib too, so he hears this accent all summer! I think he neutralises his accent a lot for British tv. I think the accent he had as Fr Noel Furlong in Father Ted might be close to his accent growing up 😆
