The following video is a clip of P.S. I Love You. Gerard Butler is an Irish actor speaking in his native tongue.
If you want to succeed as an Irish actor, you'll need to be able to convince your audience that you actually are whatever nationality you're portraying. Here are some tips to master an Irish accent:
1. Soften your vowels: use "Ah" instead of a long "A"
2. Harden consonants: use a hard "D" instead of a breathy "D"
3. Speak with a lyrical quality: Irish accents have a very musical tone
4. Practice, Practice, Practice

Here's an Irish poem for you to try out your Irish accent:
A Wish for a Friend
Wishing you a rainbow
For sunlight after showers—
Miles and miles of Irish smiles
For golden happy hours—
Shamrocks at your doorway
For luck and laughter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through!

Gerard Butler is Scottish, not Irish. If you can't tell the difference, you shouldn't be teaching people to master the accent.
