If you go so some parts of the northern part of the United States, notably the Upper Penninsula of Michigan, people definitely speak with a kind of speech that similarly "brogue"-like to the Irish.
Part of the similarity between the American and Irish dialects can be attributed to the fact that both were first colonized by England before the great pronunciation changes that swept over the Southern UK during the late 17th and 18th centuries.
