What does "dacent" mean in Irish slang?

The structure is a pronunciation spelling of "decent," reflecting the Irish accent, but the meaning has shifted upward to mean excellent, really good, or impressive, stronger than the standard English "decent" (which means merely adequate). It is used in Irish English (Hiberno-English) to describe people, food, events, or things that are genuinely good, generous, or impressive. People typically say "That's dacent of you" (very generous) or "The craic was dacent" (the fun was great).
