This study is the first of its kind to analyse the representation of Irish English in film. Using a corpus of 50 films, ranging from John Fordâ€™s The Informer (1935) to Lenny Abrahamsonâ€™s Garage (2007), the author examines the extent to which Irish English grammatical, discourse and lexical features are present in the films and provides a qualitative analysis of the accents in these works. The authenticity of the language is called into question and discussed in relation to the phenomenon of the Stage Irishman.
