Introduced by the Irish no doubt!
"Yerrah" (or however you say it) must be one of the finest words in the world. I suppose it nicely encapsulates our typically non-committal attitudes as well.
When answering NO, We say NA.

FORM IS TEMPORARY, CLASS IS PERMANENT
Is that phrase used outside of Cork? It's the only place I've heard it from."How bad" to describe something that's good. I remember hearing that for the first time and thinking "but it's not bad at all"
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
My personal favourite is "Would Ya"
To a friend : Would you like a drink would ya?
To your child : Would ya ever sit down would ya?
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.
Anonther thing too that I just thought about it is our overuse of the word ‘God’
- Honest to God like, I couldn’t believe it
- Well I swear to God I never saw anything like it in my life
- God, youd swear she was something the way she is going on
- God above, isnt it just awful!
- Well holy God (used only in a place called Glenroe though)

Ive never heard it, and if i haven't heard it then i doubt its commonly used.
