1)Irish English, also known as Hibierno is spoken in Ireland by all of the different classes.

There are about thirty-two different Irish accents


2) Add the U
For some very odd reason the Irish use extra "u"s. Just some examples are armour, behavior,
colour, favour, honour, humour, parlour and savour.
Change the Z
Another difference is that the Irish use "s" more often that "z." For example, crystallized,
industrialized, memorize, realized, recognized and specialized all take the letter "s" in Irish
English.
Invert the ER - sometimes
Some words that end in "er" in British English end with "re" across the pond, including
"centre," and "theatre." At the same time, many others don't! "Letter," "brother," "hunger," and
many more are spelled the same in Irish English
3)
"Cheers" - Although this is a drinking toast it is also an aloha-like multi-purpose word
that can mean hello, goodbye and thank you.
"Lad" - this means any male and when pluralized means any group of females or males.
"C'mere" - literally this means "come here" but it also means "listen" and just a friendly "hey."
It can be used to get someone's attention or just start a sentence.
"Right" - This is another multi-purpose word. Used like C'mere. For example "Right, yours
was a pint?", "Right, I'm off home."
"Bollocks" - this literally means testicles but has become a word with which to express anger.
For example, if you missed your train you might exclaim "Bollocks!" It can also mean
rubbish. For example, "That lad is talking utter bollocks."
"Knacker" - This can be used to describe an undesirable person, or being exhausted. For
example "Jaysus look at that knacker" or "I'm bleeding knackered, I need a kip."
4) Irish english has no word for 'yes' or 'no'. Instead questions are answered by using
the same verb that was in the question. Instead of it, the Irish repeat the verb used in
the question Some examples can be:, Can you swim? I can!. Are you coming? I amn't.
The verb "say" in first person in Present Simple would look like this: I says.
The lack of to after the verb. They don't allow us to stay here (say, in classic English).
But the Irish option: They don't allow us stay here.
