No One Has A Clue What This Irish Farmer Is Saying

I love an Irish accent for it's melodic rhythm and usual upbeat tone but this is downright impossible to decipher.

What was supposed to be a serious news story on animal theft has turned into a bit of a comedy sketch.

At first I was concerned for the two affected farmers from Mount Brandon in County Kerry. But when Mikey Joe O'Shea started talking I thought he switched from English to Gaelic.

Maybe that was a one off? I replayed the clip again and again and tried to find a shred of English but nothing.

When his next door neighbour Richie Griffin comes on I was thinking 'surely he might be able to translate'.

Nope. Richie is arguably easier to understand but there are still some pockets which I can't work out.

But it seems like I'm not alone. Even the Irish are struggling to work out what he's saying:

Would love a translator to have a go working this one out.

Accents are tough to work out sometimes, but others are very well pronounced. So much so that this Korean guy makes a how to video on learning Scouse.

To be fair, he's not half bad.
