    I don't want to be seen to be defending Kerry...but it's better than Cork ;). Also, it has the highest proportion of entry to third level of any part of the country, including south Dublin city, so the "Kerry people are dumb" thing doesn't really add up.

    Is that becasue they all get an automatic GAA grant for UCD just for being born in Kerry?

    Offaly for me. Waste of good space on the map.

    Sell Offaly like London bridge was sold then there would be space for a lovely lake.

    Does Kerry actually have a university?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I think people would notice if it actually went missing. I mean, driving from say Dublin to Donegal and coming across an intergalactic void the size of a small county in the middle of the island tends not to be something you miss.

    In the way that its nice to have, look at some times, but noone really uses it, or would notice its gone until Christmas when they want it for the dinner table?

    so the "Kerry people are dumb" thing doesn't really add up.

    No-one really believed it.

    Yes, they are all farmers down the sticks. I would say that Dublin has the dumbest population, hence it's relatively low rate of entry to third level, but thats true of all large cities. Average reduced by the presence of a statistically larger under-classs.

    Made that run twice a week for 4 years and never went near Letrim.
    Can't be getting rid of Donegal: Best scenery in Ireland right there.
    Dublin has Trinners.
    Not really sure what the point of Letrim is, though.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.
