I thought I knew a decent amount about Iron Man and The Avengers in general, but I've no idea who that Irish woman was in Iron Man's suit in Age of Ultron.
It really sticks in my mind because she had an especially stupid Irish accent. I'm Irish and it even annoyed me.
So in-universe, who is she and why did Tony Stark choose to give her an Irish accent?
Answer
The alternate A.I. Tony uses after Jarvis was "unavailable" is F.R.I.D.A.Y. voiced by Kerry Condon
This appears to be a reference to the Comic Book Earth 616 timeline. Instead of hiring a sectary Tony creates a "Girl Friday" A.I., who . . .
when neglected, eventually turns against Tony
For more information on F.R.I.D.A.Y see this http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Friday_(Earth-616)
Regarding Kerry Condons stupid Irish accent
She's Irish, born and raised in Tipperary.
I actually recognised her voice as the Irish girl that turned up in an episode of the Walking Dead.
A strong regional accent like that can jar when heard out of context.
