Actually, I tend to view a strong palatal glide before low vowels in words like ceart as something of an overpronunciation.
there's a natural glide in "ceart" because the slender c is pronounced in the back of the mouth and the "ea" in the front.
However there's no glide in bean nor in fear because the f and the b are pronounced with the lips, ie. in the front of the mouth, just like the "ea" itself. Glides appear when two sounds that follow each other are pronounced in two opposite places in the mouth (broad consonants have a back resonance, slender ones have a front one)
I don't know if it's clear, but anyway, pronouncing "kyart" is normal, pronouncing bann and farr is normal too (however, in certain dead dialects as in the Glens of Antrim, I think they would have said fyar and byan).
