No, it's called a Scouse accent. And no, a Cockney accent is not spoken by Irish people. It's a particular London accent.

People from Liverpool are sometimes referred to as "Scousers"; hence the accent.

Liverpudlians' speak with their own accent. Real cockney is related to those Londoners that lived in an area around Bow in London (i.e. born within the sound of Bow bells). This does apply these days but cockney rhyming slang is still used by many Londoners whose family grew-up there and about that locality.

Cockney is a different accent, more common in Eastern london.

The Beatles spoke with a liverpudlian accent, especially George. The others all had kind of mottled accents, but they were liverpudlians.
