Lifting lid on Cork accent

I am becoming increasingly frustrated by my inability to understand the posh accents of Cork lifts and elevators.

Lifting lid on Cork accent

First of all it is Daws Opining or Daws Clothesing. Then you are informed if it is Gang Op or Gang Dahn.

You choose the Fast Flaw or the Secund Flaw.

Why doesn’t someone design a lift with an honest-to-God Cork accent which says things like Up We Go, Girl or Down We Go, Boy? Maybe it could also be taught to say Howse The Goin’, Boy? or even Howse Con, Mary? Such familiar tones would give us all a lift in these difficult times.
