1:2:978:106:The English language was (imposed upon) [1] the Gaelic speaking (populace) [2] of Ireland of a (span) [3] of 700 years. The most important period insofar as the dissemination of the language was concerned was the mid-seventeenth century, which saw (large-scale) [4] colonisation of Ulster by British immigrants and the (relatively) [5] rapid spread of English through the country. Today, only about 2% of the population use Gaelic on a regular basis. The form of English which (evolved) [6] in Ireland, Hiberno-English, may be said to represent more than (merely) [7] a variety of the language since it (effectively) [8] replaced Gaelic as the language of the country. Hiberno-English today is as much a part of the national identity as a separate language would be. Edwards (1984) states that the Irish have not lost their national identity through language but rather have (enshrined) [9] it in English, that is they have taken English and made it (peculiarly) [10] their own.

11:2:711:103:(1) The Munster accent in general has been identified as the simplest of the Southern Irish varieties, since it is believed that Gaelic was first accommodated to English in that province. (2) However, within the six counties of Munster, a large number of varieties co-exist. (3) The influx of rural populations into the urban centre of Limerick from the surrounding counties has had the inevitable dilutory effect on the speech variety which is characteristic of the city. (4) The Limerick accent still survives, however, in the nasal vowels and rising intonation of the fairly large working class population of the city. (5) A more refined, modulated variety of the accent identifies the middle class speakers.
