    The "D4" accent is actually mostly heard in certain schools and in Søüth Cøunty Dûblin.

    The accent in D4 itself is actually very nice. Old style clear and not pretentious. Accent in parts of D4 would be closer to full on City Centre too.

    The old South Co Dublin accent is more like Maeve Binchy too - quite warm and pleasant sounding.

    What we're calling D4 is some kind of an abomination that was made up by the nouveau riche.

    Nouveau riche ffs are you serious?

    I love that ad! Unfortunately for my hubby, every time it comes on he has to listen to me rant about how the f**k does a child with that accent have a mother with that accent.

    If I met that little girl,my first question would be......"WHO'S YOUR DADDY" :D

    Is there a reason you care so much? Personally, I don't mind it. I grew up in South Dublin so maybe I'm biased as I'm used to the accent, and have it myself. Imo, the "typical" North Dublin accent is more irritating.

    Ever hear the that Castletroy (especially the Monaleen & Killonan areas) accent?
    Having lived in both Dublin & Limerick I can safely say the posh boy limerick (C-Trouy) accent is just as irritating as the D4 one.

    How does a person from central finglas or cabra end up with a d4 accent, such pretence annoys me... I hear nowadays wagons all over touting this intollerable ball of pretence... even down in the rural places of cork and limerick there is a variant...does anybody agree ... loike?

    This is a good question. I kindof have one of the variants but god knows how / why.

    There's no such thing as the D4 accent.

    There's only the UCD accent, a horrible imitation of the Ross O'Carroll-Kelly accent that is ubiquitous in certain areas in UCD and is taken up by townies, culchies, Dubs and everyone else for some strange, surreal reasons.

    This might be hyperbole.
