Dublin is the capital and the only good thing to ever come out of Cork was a road leading out of it.

I'm sitting here in my nice litle Kildare home and laughing at the arrogance of both the Dubs and the Corkonians and you both look pathetic. The only difference is that Dubs are not deluded about where the capital is.

You want your PROC?
Take it.
One less county for the productive counties to support.

Best of luck building an economy based of the fact that the last place the titanic made port was queenstown. That's all you have to offer.
Now get back in your box and accept that you are just one of 26.

By the way, Rathcormack should be nuked.

Kildare,the most boring county in Ireland.Nothing of scenic note and home to some of the worst towns in Ireland,Nass,Celbridge,Newbridge to name but three.And its "Cobh" ya fool.

This is untrue and misleading! You seem to think Kildare is the hub of economic activity in Ireland. Be reminded it is not! Does Kildare have as many multi-national companies employing thousands of people as Cork? Does it have offices of major worldwide accountancy firms, a level one trauma centre,an international airport, an extensive roads system, a bus service in any of its major towns, numerous shopping centres, a port, hotels run by international chains, as many third-level colleges? The list is endless! All of the above are characteristics of an economically successful city/county!

Really glad I get the chance to do this:

Sonia O'Sullivan: Very good athlete who loves Cork so much she changed her nationality so she could run somewhere else for someone else.

Roy Keane and Stephen Ireland: Just prove, along with the Cork hurlers, that people from Cork really do think they are better than everyone else. Thinking of Roy Keane in Saipan still makes my blood boil.

Christy Ring: Fantastic hurler. However, there are maybe 6 really strong hurling counties. Come back to me with a football player and we'll talk. Also, Kilkenny are a better hurling county and they don't have the sort of political farces that Cork are renowned for.

Jack Lynch: Compromise candidate who only became Taoiseach because George Colley was afraid of Charlie Haughey. Never did a single thing without consulting his wife. Never did a stitch to help anyone other than his own party. Spent his entire time as Taoiseach in stagnation letting better men than him do the work in his Cabinet and took the glory at the ballot box for himself.

Oh, and the best politician and Taoiseach we ever had was Sean Lemass. Fact.

Michael Collins: I had to laugh at this one to be honest. Even if you accepted Tim Pat Coogan's glorifying biography as the actual truth about Collins he is a figure who benefits from the haze of history more than most. To be fair to the man he never wanted the mantle many people decided to give him but saying he was Ireland's greatest patriot is quite laughable. I think the Emancipator, Parnell or even De Valera all have a claim. Oh, and before you bash DeValera you should remember the most remarkable thing about him. He authored a Constitution for Ireland in 1937, when the rest of Europe was moving towards fascist dictatorships, and he crafted it in a way to ensure Ireland would remain not just a democracy, but a democracy where the truest measure of power would always remain with the people through referendum. Oh, and if you think that is an anti-Cork view or a pro-DeValera one then I would point you to UCC's Head of the History Department Dermot Keogh's book on the Constitution.


So your point is really nothing but nonsense. Thanks for trying though.

Be reminded this is a personal opinion and not actual fact or widely accepted belief!

I don't think Terry was to be taken seriously there and I don't see any indication of him concluding Kildare is a hub of economic activity. And much as I've defended Cork, I'd draw a line at its roads and bus service...

He was implying that Kildare, as a productive county was supporting Cork, a less productive county. While completely untrue, I presume he meant Kildare was supporting Cork financially and to do this Kildare would definately need to be a hub of economic activity. As reagards Corks roads and bus services, the roads could be better but this is due to lack of funding. And same with the bus service-it would be better if Bus Eireann wasn't in the decision maker! But is does have some good transport infrastucture.....the Jack Lynch tunnel, M8 motorway, South Link, Southern Ring road, Ballingcollig bypass, etc. The rural bus service is also good and the bus numbers 8 and 14 seem pretty reliable. But unreliable buses are a problem no matter where you go!

Fantastic scenery, lots of grand Georgian mansions, structures built as famine relief, intact inhabited castles, beautiful natural hills and valleys, Viking era structures, amazing 18th century architecture, multi-national industries and that's just my town.
Oh yeah. We also gave the world Guinness.
Your pale imitation sucks.

I was at a theme park in Wales a few years ago and a bunch of people from Cok (very strong accents) were standing behind me in the queue for a rollercoster and were getting really nervous about how high it was. One of them said, sure it's grand I'll see you all in heaven if we die. There was a few seconds pause and then he added sure, cork is heaven so I'll see you back there for a few pints. He wasn't even really joking, I don't think. Everyone he was with nodded in agreement rather then laughing!

I thought it was pretty deluded. If heaven is like Cork then I'll be sorely disappointed!

Well he did have a fair point.

But I Cork. Went there often as a child, and continue to. I love the people there, always found them to be very friendly. Quirky humour, which I like :cool: The accent takes some ear-training but its definitely worth it.

Secondly, I can provide textual evidence for the sections on Lemass, Lynch and Collins although I admit, even in my original post, that the position of Collins is really a matter of debate.

Thirdly; neither you nor I are qualified to comment on what is or is not widely accepted belief. My post was in response to a poster listing people he believed were indicative of Cork's superiority and I merely provided a counterpoint to his position.

So, once more, I am forced to respond to a post that neither makes any sense nor has any real relation to the question at hand. Marvelous how inane some people can be...

Excuse me but my post does make sense! And your post was not fact it was your opinion. I'm not saying the people mentioned in your original post where/are the greatest people in their respective fields, but there were all very successful people who were born/reared in Cork or as one poster was saying, they were good things to come out of Cork!

No. The definition of inbred is when you have sex with members of your own family.

When you have a kid with your cousin (as many Dubs do), that's inbreeding.

I don't need a youtube video to point out that Dubs and incapable of anything but sticking needles in their arms. Or their genitals when they run out of of good veins.

Are we really a bunch of langers?

I dont mind many of you.Of course there are some self proclaimed "cork patriots" that do my head in.The ones that say cork is the real capital...give me a break.Also there is a strange smell in your city.It is a nice city though once you get over the smell.Its probably my 3rd favourite city in Ireland.To sum up...I like the majority of cork people but not the ones that are stuck up their own hole.

I actually agree with you on Sean Lemass being our best leader ever...well that was the opinion I concluded from Junior Cert History anyway. All I was doing was defending 'Cork's claim to greatness' if you like. For the record, I must say I'm not one of those people who think Cork is superior to other counties and how we are the real capital, but obviously I will defend Cork from unwarented critism or fasle accusations.
