Heroes refused to hire Irish actors

If there is anything not quite right about the secound series of Heroes, it’s the shite Irish accents that are abundent for the mojority of the series.
It’s not just the quality of the accents I find insulting, thier reason for hiring American actors to play Irish was because the Irish actors didn’t sound Irish enough.
The Americans got even more confused, one of the Irish is herd saying boyo, which I can assure you is a Welsh thing.
If you want somthing to be realistic the actors don’t have to sound as though the have been coached they need to be able to act. If you put actors into a situation where they have to put on accents 9/10 times they will over-do everything. You need Irish actors to play Irish parts, isn’t that more sensible and a whole lot easier, they know how the Irish talk.
