it is Frank McCourt who wrote Angelas Ashes but the Irish accent is only specific to Limerick outside that area a lot of the regional sayings would be out of place. I have a cousin who has worked with people from all over Ireland and he says he can identify where an Irish person comes from by there accent. I could not do that but can identify there are a lot of different accents
