A new Web site has arrived offering, among other things, Irish-American news and a list of the 10 worst Irish accents on film (Sean Connery tops it, and along with Julia Roberts, appears twice).
The man behind the site, IrishCentral.com, is Niall O'Dowd, the New York-based Irish publisher who puts out the weekly Irish Voice, Irish America magazine and the newspaper Home and Away. The new site includes genealogy information, top tourist spots in Ireland, breaking news and breaking fluff. Its target audience is the Irish diaspora, which numbers 36.5 million in the United States, more than eight times the population of Ireland.
