This is supposed to be set in the 1920's? LOL
Yes, during the civil war as referenced in some of the lines and the canon fire on ‘the mainland’.

The producers were probably caught in a bit of conundrum here Muff. On one hand, I'm sure they would have liked to select a handsome star from Mayo with a local accent for the sake of authenticity. On the other hand, where the fack would they find one of them? So they opted for a good looking Dub with a ropey accent. They have a movie to sell and it would be a tough gig trying to market it with nothing but scaldy culchie heads on the poster. 

For the record, I really enjoyed it. Jesus it is bleak though.
