That's an easy one. The south side of Glasgow is full of second and third generation Irish who still speak with Donegal accents.

This is true about parts of Newfoundland. I remember seeing an old RTE show from the 70s or 80s where the presenter was out on a fishing boat with a man form Newfoundland and the presenter asked had he ever heard of a place called Wexford. He had heard of it but never been. He had a quare'in strong accent though.

I lived in Toronto for 3 years and visited St.Johns Newfoundland, St Paddy's day 2003, you may as well have been in a pub back in the 'ole' country. Very nice, honest people and yes they spoke with a Waterford/Wexford accent. Many fly the tri-colour and a little history lesson, Newfoundland didn't join Canada until 1949, the year the 'Free State' became a 26 county Republic!

another candidate would have to garngad in glasgow. on st.patrick's week. Bunting and tricolours stretched through the main street and were hung from windoews in hundreds of houses. I don't knwo where else in theworld you would see this. Not an Irish accent to be heard I might add.
