    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,

    You for real calling it a city. I know Letterkenny is better than any town in Mayo but comparing the biggest town in Donegal to the 3rd(?) biggest town in Mayo is not comparing like for like but comparing the closet one to Letterkenny, Letterkenny wins hands down.

    Well I suppose Letterkenny has more potential than any of those towns in Mayo. Sure even Sligo is a better town than them places in Mayo.

    For dramatic landscapes, Donegal would definitely have the edge over Mayo.

    But Mayo's towns are nicer than Donegal's. Wesport is one of the most attractive towns in all of Ireland, whereas Letterkenny is a disgusting mis-shapen sprawl of ribbon upon ribbon of poorly laid out housing estates going on for miles out of the town. It is a planning disaster.

    Yea they're building out in the suburbs - expanding the town. They're spacing things out, not crowding things in. That's good to see.

      Mayo has the Biggest Sea Cliffs in Europe, even though Donegal are trying to claim them. They are in Achill
      Castlebar replaced Letterkenny as the fastest growing town in Europe
      Mayo has the largest number of Blue Flag Beaches in Ireland
      Mayo has an International Airport
      AND THE DEALBREAKER - Mayo has Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin.

    Castlebar is not the fastest growing. It would be one of the fastest growing.

    Mayo doesnt have teh internets so none of them can vote, this isn't a fair poll. Is Richie Kavanagh from Mayo, thought it was Wexford. But sure whats the difference. :D

    I think this poll is proof that Mayo is seriously lacking in broadband! No other county would lose a "who is best" poll in thier own forum against another county:eek:

    its a tough call - I love them both! But mayo is the better of the two! People are lovely - westport is great!!! It still has that old town feel! - Letterkenny has become very commercialised and now is very similar to every other town.....!!! Up Mayo!:D
