Madge · 2007-05-11 16:51:21

Some people here may not know about the new Irish Monopoly Board which will feature the counties of Ireland which get the most votes. So vote for the counties of the N.West so they will get on the new Irish Monopoly Board! http://www.monopoly.ie/vote.aspx

If its any consulation nanook I moved to England and the celtic tiger just took off. Now I am back and its all going pear shaped.The other thing is that theres potentially alot of folk on the Census that may have come in the county for work (the building trade) and might be off again once theres a tumble. Then you can sell up and come back to Dromahair(?) There'll be plenty of accomodation at reasonable prices!
Anyway all this chat isnt getting leitrim any more votes.:)

From the web site...

vote to be included on the first ever All-Ireland Monopoly board.

Competition is expected to be fierce with space for only 22 of the 32 counties to feature.

Does anybody else find a 22 county all Ireland monopoly board ironic?

Geez, we did better against the brits I think I spotted that dude on the site with top hat, tuxedo with pyjama bottoms at an Orange march in Rossnowlagh. http://www.monopoly.ie/images/home/monopoly-man.png

The counties that make it onto the board will be represented by their most popular visitor attraction.

So what is Roscommon's most popular attraction? actually is there any?
And for other counties?

I haven't been able to vote yesterday or today as the voting section won't load :mad: Looks like Leitrim and Donegal will make it, Sligo won't.
Voting closes Friday!

the fact that leitrim is going to place on the irish monopoly board is bringing a tear to my eye as we speak. This is just like when the wolfe tones won the title of Britians favourite song with "A Nation Once Again"

Three cheers for democracy.

Yeah it's nice for the little counties to get some recognition. What does it mean for the counties who come in the top 5 or top 10? Do they get some sort of special markings on the board or something?

I think you might call it three cheers for successful lobbying and/or the power of the diaspora! There must be something afoot to get all those votes. Its looking good for Leitrim. Shame about Sligo if they cannt do it.
Re Jinx you might be right. Only was able to vote for the first time today.

So when the places are all decided, which counties are going to represent the big money, and who will be the poor relations?

And is Roscommon going to be the Jail;)

Yup. Voters in Waterford on Thursday will be a tad confused. What party does this Mon O'Poly represent?
