I wrote about Irish English and the nature of dialects in an essay for @stingingfly.bsky.social a few years ago: stingingfly.org/product/wint...

You can read an abridged version in @irishtimes.bsky.social: www.irishtimes.com/culture/book... #dialect #linguistics
Excerpt from the essay: Geography offers a useful analogy. Different regions of Ireland have distinctive landscapes, yet it makes sense sometimes to refer to 'the Irish landscape': it has unifying traits. Similarly there is merit to the idea of Irish English as a dialect. Any local dialect on the island will have properties that mark it as Irish English, though their frequency and proportion will vary from one place or speaker to the next. So it is with Galway. Its dialects are close to those spoken anywhere west of the Shannon, where Irish lingered longer and had more effect on the English that largely, and violently, supplanted it. But the county’s size and topographical range mean there are considerable differences in local speech as we travel from the towns and farmlands of the east – virtually the midlands – through the city and westward to Connemara and the islands, where in many households Irish prevails.
