Enfield, Kilcock, Kinnegad - Why bypass them when you had a perfect opportunity to eradicate these 1 horse towns from the map. Although there would be a worldwide shortage of Toyota saloons and a severe danger that Fine Gael may never get elected again ever...but I think it would have still been worth it!

Bettystown where all the pretentious wannabe D4 horsefcukers hang out!

i think you will find KILCOCK is in kildare and KINNEGAD is in westmeath.

and 3 reasons you have to love kilcock

1)my missus is from there

2)there all piss heads world champion piss heads at that.i think they were born with pints in there hand

3) they have cock in there name

Now that is really funny.

I would vote Leitrim followed by Roscommon and Offaly and btw I have worked and stayed in all of them, Southern Counties are my favourites.

My 3 nominations;

Meath - Those sheep lovers have some massive problem with Dublin.

Cork - They must be Irelands biggest moaners, even if they say something positive it sounds like they are moaning.

Kilkenny - They think that they own Hurling and have the right to win every match and there people are annoying.

What, this statement doesn't even make any sense, perhaps they're just skilled at the game rather than thinking they have "the right" to win, what a load of ****e..

Dublin is the worst county in ireland. Im my opinion they think that they are the only county in ireland sometimes. i work in dublin which i have too but some people dont even know the counties in ireland. Especially in the midlands, one person didnt hear of longford or roscommon for example.

shovelsfc

I think galway is the best county in ireland to live. Im not from there but whenever i do travel there, everyone is so friendly and the nitelife is good too....

shqipshume

I love them all not a single one i don't like,every single one of our counties have some amazing qualities and sites,people can be a little frosty all over but i am friendly always have a smile on my face and soon people start smiling and talking back to me when they realise i am not going to chew their head off like Irish tend to think these days about each other,so people to are great all over our counties.:)

Dublin is the worst county for sure.... no offence but most of the dubliners are so wrapped up in their own county they don't even know about half the other counties in Ireland - that makes me sick! I recently asked a Dubliner of 18 yrs of age what counties had she passed through on a bus DIRECT from Dublin to Galway .... the answers were shocking!!! I was told both Cork and Donegal.... but she wasn't sure!!!! So my vote is DUBLIN!

Laois is hard to love it must be said.

inter-city train and road

Your geographical knowledge sucks man. That train depot at Templetuohy is in Tipp. You may be confusing it with Ballybrophy in Laois.


What a negative and unpatriotic thread though. Who is anyone to say that one county is ''worse'' than the rest! Each county has its pros and cons. For example, Limerick City has its crime problem, but as a sporting venue its second to none. Tipperary has awful roads but its people are some of the wittiest and most enjoyable company i've ever met. Donegal has a major problem with boy racers but its scenery is majestic.


As an Irishman, i love all 32 counties of Ireland. I suggest that other people, instead of bikering and slagging off various counties, do the same.

And that just makes her bad at geography :rolleyes: so you vote a whole county for that one reason :eek:

I'm living in Galway and its good but it does have some bad points that prob match every other town in the country.
Massive Estates and no aminities
Traffic... Nearly as bad as Dublin.
Druggies - Although not as obvious as other places.

I did live in Dublin and it was great fun but I had enough of it to be honest. I still go back all the time but glad not to be living there anymore.

Redneck at heart!! Originally from Cavan. Beautiful county but serious drug problem and always trouble if your into going to pubs/clubs.

That is just one person and one example..... I know it may be a bit harsh but I have had many experiences with people from there who haven't a clue about their country and it makes my blood boil.... just a personal opinion tho!!!

I'm from Mayo - my fav counties apart from Mayo (of course!) would be Galway, Donegal !!!

I think the problem is there is only 2 niteclubs to to accomodate everyone.
Most of the scumbags, people who are barred etc hang about and when all the pubs and the 2 clubs close everyone goes out on the same street at the same time.

The square is not a place to be at closing time even more so now with this gang terrorising people and the IRA movement going to "be out in force" to teach the guys a lesson.

Donegal for me. The f3ck3rs up there think it's ok to dodge tax once you buy lottery tickets with what should have gone to the taxman, hence there are at least 2 of them on Winning Streak every week.

I wish they would. The Garda can do F all about it. I could walk down shop st. on a Saturday night no problem. I wouldn't walk from the pub to the Bank Link on my own in Cavan now.

No he's correct.

We do think we have the right to win every match

I don't think we own it though :pac:

But that is true about people from cities in general. A lot of urban folk never leave their own city. I've met several people from Limerick City who wouldn't have a clue where certain towns in County Limerick are. The same goes for Cork, Galway, Dublin and Waterford.

don't forget dire public transport, that only operates when the bus drivers can be bothered, i lived long enough in galway to realise you don't depend on the city bus service :mad:

I have to say Offaly depresses the sh*t out of me, my mother is from there and while I like seeing my family once in a while, I'm never sorry to see the back of the place. I've tried to change my mind about it but it nearly puts me crying. Flat, featureless, boggy land as far as the eye can see, dodgy accents and absolutely nothing to do. And I'm from Co Roscommon!:o

Offaly has the Irish sky diving club there beside Clombolouge, thats pretty radical man

googlefan

The ignorence of the Dublin people is staggering, in terms of what lies outside their borders. They are similar to the rednecks in the U.S who have never been outside their state. I had to produce a map to a woman recently who refused to believe KK and Waterford were in the South East, she thought they were in the south west.

Aside from that is has to be the midlands region as a whole. I'm talking Offaly, Laois, parts of Kildare etc. The people are so backward and rude its unreal.

tech77

It's Offaly bad manners to be putting counties Down.
Is that even aLouth on this forum?
Some guy just Dublin his post count, no doubt.
There's (g)always one having a Sli go. :rolleyes:
Put a Cork in it ffs, is that Clare?
Armagh getting outta here before it gets any worse.

Well that is a very sweeping generalisation. Why only parts of Kildare?! Enlighten me!

googlefan

I'm from the sunny south east. The kinds of stuff I'm talking about in the midlands are senior management in a large global pharmaceutical plant cleaning their teeth with sellotape/paper clips or basically anything they can find during meetings, not holding the door for the people in the corridor, constant nose picking, bad hygiene, big stupid laughs, unusually large population of short, fat females, terrible accents. General bad manners as a whole.

I encountered while working there for a period. I'm a GAA player, well used to a bit of roughing it, and I've spent times in lots of towns and counties in Ireland, so I'm not someone who works in a library who went on a day trip once.

Newbridge and surrounding area. Athy also. It seems towns like Naas and around the commuter belt have more of a mix of people from around the country and are less inward looking. Just my take on things.

So you are basing your impression of the midlands on a group of people who work in company that you also happen to work for?!!

googlefan

No, I'm talking of two major employers in the region employing over 1,500 people each. I've talking about living in the region and playing a large amount of sport in the region.

Don't pick on me if you don't like my opinions, they are a popular sentiment both here and across the wider population.

So funny, all I saw there was "love cock" and "my missus".

Then I read it again. It's ok now.

Ha, should have said mostly a GAA player. Known to play soccer, rugby and tennis to a high level also. Wasn't much of these in the midlands either!!!

Haven't been to Roscommon though-I'll leave them out.

I am from the midlands and I could not agree with you more, mind you the rest of Ireland is not too far behind. There is a prevalent culture of sneering, condescension, and of putting everyone down.

The Celtic tiger spawned the crassest, undignified and crudest culture here that I should not even be using the word culture to describe it as it is one thing that is completely lacking.

Tbh, if the whole stack of cards come tumbling down and we have to start again from nothing, I for one would not shed a whole lot of tears, and from what I can see of the Government, they are about to do that albeit a slow death over several years.

btw I have always found the people south of the country to be a lot more civilised.
