Mobland: accent debacle

I saw a trailer for the TV series "Mobland" in which Pierce Brosnan plays an Irish character with a questionable choice of accent, which has baffled me because this man is from Ireland. Granted he moved away when he was young, surely there's some part of him that can recall how to do his native accent. This man is from Navan for Christ sake.

Brosnan is saying he modeled his Mobland accent on tapes of a particular Irish politician from Kerry, so far unnamed.

I don't know enough about Irish accents to judge, but if Ireland has half as much regional variation as the UK, there might be wild differences between Dublin, Kerry, and Navan.
