The first time I heard a Dublin nativer speak, I heard it instantly -- a bit of a Boston accent. The "A" sound sounded just like "Hahvahd Yahd." I have talked to other Americans living in Ireland who noticed this as well. So now I know one place that helped create that ol' Boston accent :).
The other thing I notice about the Dubs is their use of "t" instead of "th." It is quite funny to me at times, hearing "tree" instead of "three." But "there ya go!" as they say.
