Too many to list. Every part of Ireland has different words like that. They either stem from gaelic, Elizabethan english or Scots in the north. When takking to someone from another county / country, most are careful to only use RP English and slow speech down. Some ( and it's funny to hear ) will just talk louder to strangers in the local dialect  .
A few word from Cork city are :-
Beore....a young woman.
Flah.....a sexy woman.
Langer...a penis / or a Tosser.
Sham.....mate / buddy.
Cafler...an annoying sweet talker.

Here, to put something away is to keep it.
Many a funny conversation overheard at work when non welsh patients are asked "shall I keep your bag?" "Um..sorry?" "Would you like me to keep your bag?" "No..It's mine"  |
