Look, I've only ever caught one or two episodes of DS9, so forgive me for not knowing this but:

Miles O'Brien is supposed to be from Killarney?

With Colm Meaney's accent?


Colm Meaney's accent is very distinctive, and instantly placeable for most Irish people. And it's not Killarney, which has it's own distinctive accent. That's Northside Dublin.

It's kinda like casting someone with a prominent Brooklyn accent and claiming the character is Texan.
