Voice controlled technology systems are having trouble understanding certain Irish accents.

A survey's found Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa have most difficulty recognising Donegal accents.

Almost two-fifths (39%) of people from the county said their smart device only 'occasionally or never' understands them.

The research by Pure Telecom discovered that digital assistants also found Clare and Kerry accents hard to grasp.

Laois, Carlow and Roscommon were the top three best spoken counties, with nearly half of people in Laois saying their device 'always' understand them.
