It's an Irish city accent as opposed to a rural accent that the lads have! Ireland has a lot of different accents.

@@colors6692 Wow so different. Is it because English were in the cities and Irish were outside them? I must visit Ireland and the UK someday. Very interesting

@@cigh7445 no his accent sounds nothing like a british accent ..but also he is a trained broadcaster ..so he is coached to speak like that..the interviewer sounds very definitely irish and couldn't be mistaken for anything else by a native english speaker..the english had some presence in dublin ..but beyond keeping the control of the country with army forces etc none lived there ..its why you get the term ABSENTEE landlord ....the owned all the land in ireland ...but LIVED in the uk ...and irish people had to pay rent to british people in the uk who had never set foot in the uk..sure there were some odd big houses with some english lords etc but not a real large community if they had that then when we had voted for independence .most british in ireland were protestants and the irish catholics ...n..they would have voted to stay in the uk ..the english didn't want to live there ..they wanted to take resources and control the country ...so admin govt army etc were english very few private citizens lived there tho...except in northern ireland where it's different and the british had a large community of normal citizens ...its kind of like the governership of hongkong or the colonization of india ...very few british went to LIVE there they went to control it
