There is.

In fact, if you go to Bridgetown, we went to film there as part of our documentary series from that small island.

And it was fascinating to go there.

and to look at the conditions that these people would have worked in.

But also you see down in the quay in Barbados where these people would have, where the poor Irish would have been, would have been landed, would have been sold.

There's a wall with all these names, these Irish names.

You know, we interviewed this man called Kevin Farmer.

He's deputy director of the museum there.

And he's done a lot of work into the Irish in Barbados.

And he talks about the names.

I asked him, did we leave a legacy there?

He said, just look around you.

He said, just look at the phone book.

All of the names in the phone book.

And he said, more to that, just listen to how we speak, he said.

He said, the lilt of the accent.

And he sounds himself like he's a bit from County Cork, you know.

He's got this wonderful lilt.

There's certainly something there.

I just listened to this man, Kevin Farmer, he says, the Lilton County Cork, we could be from County Cork.
