Agree. Westport is a small aul hoke of a town. Letterkenny is more vibrant.

Sorry, have to go with Donegal on this one,

Letterkenny is better than Westport,

Sliabh Liag is better than Croagh Patrick,

Killybegs is better than Kilalla,

Glenveigh is better than Ballycroy,

Which is worse then?

Danny O'Donnell or Enda Kenny?

Kenny is a piece of shoite imo. Couldn't lead a dog around a crow's nest

Ah he might not be able to 'lead a dog around a crow's nest' but isnt his party doing well this weekend??

Actually come to think of it O'Donnell and himself could be related!! they both have that same voice (albeit the accent is different) that makes ya want to have tea with their Mammies (but nothing else lol).

They're doing well except they ran 5 in Letterkenny. One got through.

Donegal is a Fianna Fáil place. People still vote for them in Donegal even though they're always picking there nipples off about them.

It's unique to be rural now?
Urban sprawl must be more out of hand than I thought.

I would say that people from Donegal are better prepared for moments like this.

I actually like Donegal, but Westport is a fine town.
One of the best in Ireland.
Spend a week-end during the summer and you will certainly enjoy it.
It is also very accessible, being on the train route.
Yes, Westport for me every time.

Sure Donegal is cold, full of rocks and nobody can understand what they are saying in English as well as Irish!

Why is Letterkenny been compared to Westport, you have Castlebar and Ballina aswell in Mayo.
Neither are great but I think I would vote for Donegal, I'm stuck between the two been from Sligo.

The really big cliffs in Donegal(can't think of the name of them) are spectacular.

Slieve League, :cool:

Well to be honest with you having been to the to the towns of Castlebar, Ballina and Westport and the city of Letterkenny in Donegal, I find Letterkenny more interesting. Bigger, more vibrant, more to do. The beautiful Cathedral, a lot more shops etc, etc,

Nice to see they both have an opinion, even if they are both wrong.
