Speaking as an Irish person (not Oirish) what gets me is not prouncing "T" ... Miriam O'Callaghan's "New York Cidy" just drives me insane. Or Stephen Donnelly's "Communidy Care". I don't know where it came from, it's completely contrived. For me, It's remote and switch time.
Yeah that alveolar tap is definitely an American affectation I'd say. Probably from D4 kind of speech which has spread. It annoys me a bit too but sure things always change
