"And so she brought food with her thatd do her for de three days walking. And.. cause she knew there were no bikes or nuthin.. so she got outside and it was father than Oliver Plunketts head. Farther than the whole Excursion."
Oliver Plunkett's head is on display in Drogheda about 30 miles from Dublin. How clever that this student equated Mary's journey being farther than the journey taken to see Oliver Plunkett's head . . . . a bright child's mind at work!
An interesting aside from the comments @ YouTube:
A viewer noted that "I didn't realize how similar Irish and Jamaican accents are. Some of those pronunciations were straight Jamaican!"
A very interesting response:
There's a reason for that . . . . . 50,000 Irish men, women and children were taken as slaves by the British under Oliver Cromwell to the Caribbean, predating the African slave trade.
70% of Montserrat was composed of Irish slaves until Africans arrived, after which the two inter-married or were bred together. So there is significant Irish influence in the Carribean!
