    Some towns have literally no scumbags though. The boom years has seen a huge influx of 'scum' into smaller towns and villages i.e. someone selling their house in a less desirable area of the city and moving to the 'country'. They would be living at a more 'acceptable' address and would have probably made a profit from the sale also.

    Some towns always had a bigger proportion of scum than other towns anyway e.g. Youghal which is a beautiful seaside town littered with scum.

    Youghal is a lovely place.Cobh is a proper ****hole though.

    I have to disagree with you there. Limerick has, proportionally speaking, way more scumbags inhabiting it. The city is far more compact than Cork and thus you have lowlifes living not only close to the city centre, but actually in the city centre. Walk down O'Connell St any given day, the place is teeming with them, William St is their favoured location though, i avoid that area if at all possible. Thats not to say Limerick doesn't have its nice areas, it does. I love Dooradoyle, Castletroy and down by the Abbey River.

    Yes William Street is rough is that because of the bus stops?Then again Merchants Quay in Cork is a rough street too.

    places are designated city status, nothing to do with size or population

    It is a city whether your personal problems want it to be or not. If you want to be technical and start quoting the Local Government Act (2001) : (In which case it is described as a City) or you are sensible or have seen the charter, it is a City. Whatever, Not Bovered!

    kilkenny is a city in NAME ONLY. When you hear AA roadwatch talk about traffic in the 'cities'....how often do you hear Kilkenny mentioned? In reality it is a town. And dont quote me that cathedral ****e. The church could build a cathedral in my local village, would that make it a city too?! :D:D

    Kilkenny is a city despite what AA roadwatch reports have you thinking

    I think if you look it up you will find that historically references to Kilkenny City are very recent and formed part of the stand up routine of Brendan Burke at the Kilkenny Just for Laughs Comedy Festival.

    Im surprised people still fall for that gag.

    Well done LordButtersnip for reviving that one and Johhny and Rosie for keeping it up:D

    Well I understand what you are saying but you are wrong the only main differance between Kilkenny and the other cities (other than population which isnt a factor in city status anyway) is the form of governing body, we have a borough council(because of Kilkennys small size) and because of this it was nessesary for the gov to distinguish between normal citys and kilkenny and so legally it was nessesary to talk in terms of Kilkenny as a town and the other citys as citys. It is still a city but it takes its legislation from the same place as towns do.

    AA are not the government so could no more decide if Kilkenny is a city or not than they could decide on expenditure on schools for the year. Also a smaller place gives you the benifit of less problems like Traffic. That is plainly a daft arguement.

    No a cathedral does not make a city, A City makes cathedrals (We have two). The church could build whatever they like they again are not the government. But in Old Lieghlin, Co. Carlow, a small village, they have there own Cathedral (St Lazarians) but they are not a city. There are differances all over the place it is what makes life interesting. And there is no point trying to make everything conform to the same ideas because there will always be things that dont fit.

    With all due respect Buttersnip, you can quote technicalities all day. In every day life, Kilkenny is not a city, simply because it is not big enough to be one - and dont tell me size/population has nothing to do with it, size/population differentiates towns from cities. Athlone, Sligo, Tralee, Dundalk - all bigger than Kilkenny. None are cities. Neither is Kilkenny.

    again population and size do not a city make, when are people going to realise this :D st david in wales population 2000 is a city, chester population 80k is a city while luton pop 150k is a town
