Last night there was a segment on Six-One News that people are still talking about this morning.
If you missed it first time round you can get the full story here, but basically a farmer in Kerry is offering €2,000 to anyone with information that might help locate his 60 missing sheep.
While that isn’t entirely un-interesting by itself, people were left in ewe awe at the farmer’s unique accent.
Behold.

It is not unfair to say that some people found his accent more than a little … impenetrable.
That accent on the West Kerry sheep farmers on the news was amazing…

@jacktink I can’t tell if he’s jumping between Gaelic and English

@meganrome I have to listen very carefully to get it and I’m missing bits. It’s a great story telling accent down in Kerry.

@liamstack Is he speaking English? The farner? If so, I can’t understand a single word. Hope he gets his sheep back though.

Personally, it reminded us of one of our favourite scenes from Hot Fuzz.
