WATCH: This Irish Farmer’s Accent Is So Thick Even The Irish Are Baffled

Speaking as a man born of fine Irish stock, I like to think I have an innate ability to understand most accents from Dublin to Belfast to Cork. This farmer talking about his stolen sheep on RTÉ News? Completely, completely beyond me.

This man is speaking an ancient Celtic tongue. He is speaking the language of a race of faeries long lost to the sands of time. My dude here is speaking the sound of the cold northern winds blowing across the hills and dales of a united Ireland free of English interlopers.

Even the Irish are having serious issues deciphering this bloke’s chat:

@rtenews @ShonaOT this is what I was on about. Legit haven’t a rashers what anyone here is saying. @IanCollins_IC any ideas?!

@rtenews Couldn’t understand a word either of them said. Feel sorry for tourists thinking of going on a trip where Kerryish isn’t their 1st language…

@rtenews @sarahs_mindtank What do you make of this man’s accent? (Not the newsreader btw, the other lad, lad.)

@JamieO_Hara @rtenews Much like fine wine or a night at the opera, I can only hope to one day understand it.

(I loved it)

Go on mate. Live your truth. Also, I hope you find your sheep.
