Examples of this touristy faux culture please. What parts of the Conamara Gaeltacht?

galway pubs for one.

no one is disputing its heritage

two years back i was visiting galway and out in the country stopped the car and asked a local for directions and ended up being directed 20 or so miles in the wrong direction. We were told this was normal and the locals have a keen sense of humour. Then again you dont visit galway for the signposts which they take down or point in the opposite direction.

Ennis/clare does a lot more with less and the people are nicer and the resteraunts more sophisticated.Donegal is prettier and you can pop over the North for shopping.

I dont mean to pick on Galway but maybe its the attitude that kept the Americans away too.

I've been there, it's like atlantis, most people can never find it and don't believe it could possibly exist!

It is a nice county though!

Its a beautiful spot. People always criticise its small population but its a very small county in size-if you took any area of Connacht the same size without any major towns it woul probably have the same population as Leitrim.

Galway. Overrated nightlife, touristy faux culture, costs an arm and a leg to get to and it never stops raining.

Pure celtic tiger stuff, the city is incredibly overpriced and getting a bad name for it. I find Dublin, Belfast and Cork beat it hands down for friendliness, value for money and quality in food and drink. Some cracking spots in Galway don't get me wrong, but the urban scene, stand alone show off hideous mansions with eight bathrooms and two 4x4's outside... Mind you, that's not just Galway in fairness.

If Leitrim and Monaghan disappeared, I don't think anyone would notice

You from Dublin? Seems Dubliners tend to think anyone who doesn't like Dublin has a chip on their shoulder or some grudge or summat.

Can't people just don't like Dublin?
(I refer now to the city, county Dublin could be great for all I know, haven't really been)

Actually, the chip is in their brains. Which makes them smarter than the rest of you hicks.

/thread - because it doesn't even need an explanation.

Considering that randomly listing counties is by no means witty or funny, and the whole point of the thread is - I think - to be funny and original, I'd love to hear an explanation! Assuming that you have one that's funny and original ?

Guess the real answer would depend on what the criteria was.....living vs working, entertainment resources vs natural resources, transport vs localised facilities, variety vs predictability, bars where you can chat vs music clubs, actual culture vs "celeb" wannabe nightclubs.

Wouldn't know where to start, really, but I know I'd differentiate between living & visiting somewhere. Maybe Dublin, because of its size, chronic traffic & crime, but then it does have more options for nights out and has decent public transport when compared to all the other cities nationwide.

But couldn't really point a finger at a "worst" county.....far too vague.

Cork without a doubt. I strongly believe my own IQ drops in the presence of Cork people.

Huh ?

Seems like you're guilty of the same thing!

Any map of Ireland will tell ya that there's FAR less than 30 counties that don't have a city....

Belfast
Derry
Limerick
Kilkenny
Waterford
Galway
Sligo [ I think ]

....and there might even be more.

Always bugs me how Dubs view anyone outside their city as "culchies" - even though they might be from somewhere in Co Dublin (like Swords) and talking to someone who actuall lives in a city!!!! :rolleyes:

Johnnnybravo

People from Cork never see the sun most of them have their heads so far up their own ho*e.

Mike...

Roscommon by a mile, total and utter kip

Worst county in Ireland has to be Dublin. It is the dirtiest sh1thole ever.

So many drug addicts everywhere, scumbags everywhere, it is one of the ugliest places I've ever seen.

Followed closely by Kilkenny, Limerick, Clare and Meath.

donegal - everyone up there has a massive chip on their shoulder about the rest of the country, purely because the rest of the country is more developed. they express concern about you if you're 'not a praying man', and should you mention that you aren't an avid drinker of alcohol then nobody will be anyway nice to you, only suspicious.

a famous caveman once said:

caveman with chip on shoulder easily spot other caveman with chip on shoulder.

MEATH by far - full of thickies who think there`s no place in Ireland like them - I lived there for 2 years & I KNOW

It always has, and always will be, Cork.

Not even the fact that Dudess is a native can save it (nearly though )
