I'm starting to understand him more. The same way it took me a long time to understand some thick scottish accents in the house on previous seasons.

[Sophiee]

I understand most of what he says now, it's getting easier the more I listen to him.

[amai-murasaki]

I understand Paddy - I suppose it helped watching The Big Fat Gypsy Wedding you get used to their accents.

Also I mean that phone call sounded like a different language..:/

I did think that at first actually.

[Sunny_01]

Nope its all kind of spoken in tongues as far as I am concerned.

[Jords]

Mostly.. just about

[Marc]

I think he's hilarious BECAUSE I can't understand him

[ABigbother]

I can only understand him when he says "Lady" or "Honest to god" apart from that it's all double Dutch.
I'm also have trouble with Tara that accent is truely horrible.

[Incensed]

I actually switched the subtitles on last night so I knew what he was talking about.

[Livia]

I think Paddy udnerstanding other people is more of a problem. People have to say the same thing to him over and over and over and still there is hardly a flicker of comprehension in his eyes.

he also seemed to say 'Baby' a lot to his wife...

[dwarling]

I do find him a bit to understand at times, but I'm getting there..I think he's really funny and a great choice of housemate.

[Smithy]

Why does he have an irish accent if he was born in Manchester

[▲Ż\_(ツ)_/Ż▲]

Being Irish and growing up around travellers, I can say yea I understand him easily.

He doesn't have an Irish accent though, he has a Traveller accent, but I can definitely hear a British twinge to it, Northern English to be precise.
There are a lot of things he says and words he uses that sound very English when you are used to the Irish Travellers accent

[gohan2091]

I can understand bits and pieces but it's difficult

[Bojangles]

The more you listen to him the more you will understand him.It's like listening to some people after they've had a stroke you will get the gist.
You'll obviously understand him if you're oyrish.

[SimBrotherNetwork]

No, but i love him!

['Conor]

but like he doesnt really have an irish accent

cause i dont understand him either

[crollsy]

paddy is way easier to understand than tara!

[ram513]

Sort of

[Kaaarenn!]

I can't really understand him all the time either. I have to listen really hard to know what's he talking about lol.

[Gillian-73]

The first night i couldn't understand a word! it got easier each night and i can now understand most of what he says.

[BOOSH]

I can for most of it, I like how they're using subtitles sometimes haha

That isn't an Irish accent, it's a traveller accent
