I hear ya, lovely in the summer but it can be depressing in the winter all right.
I still would not swap for city living again.

Well, when I look out my window, I see Clew Bay at the end of my garden with The Reek to my left and Westport to my right. I wouldnt swap it for anywhere, and If you think for one minute that us Farmers dont make money, you are sadly mistaken. After all, Technically, you are paying for us in one form or the other:D Enjoy the lovely sound of trafic filtering through your window on this fine Autumnal Day.!!

hey! i don't hear traffic, i'm from malahide. the sea just outside my estate, quiet as anything outside 24/7 and even though you say i pay you in a form, i bet i still have more money than you. coz i can afford a house in dublin.

I moved from Dublin to London, 'cause Dublin just ain't big enough. Countryside is great for the holliers and for weekends (I part own a nice cottage in Devon), but I'll take the city as my main home without question.

Interesting how nobody has mentioned RISE, so much for their marketing.

If something happens outside dublin where we need to go to a church someone will text us.

I have been living in dublin 4 years, not in a rush to go back to the farm.

So you want to split the country?
So you don't want the considerable amount of money raised through Dublin taxes anymore?
Cool. More for us to spend on things we need here!

we don't need to sell it, it's beauty sells itself. I would not live in the city again.
I like the idea of no neighbours, no hassle just peace and quiet.

revell · 02-10-2011 5:55pm

first lets split Dublin into half by Liffe, that's more practical

parts of dublin are peaceful too, case in point where i live, malahide. sea right outside my house, as i've already said there is like no noise, and - here's the kicker - i'm less than five hours away from town

(like half an hour)

AstonMartin · 02-10-2011 6:02pm

Dun Laoghaire seems like the best place to live in Dublin for people in their 30s.

WesternZulu · 02-10-2011 6:10pm

We have tried it before;

We have been just waiting for 211 years to figure out what went wrong and then try again :pac:

They should just put a big bubble dome around Dublin, (leaving the coast line exposed of course for travel abroad) but not before first air lifting Croke Park and Coppers outta the city to the back of beyonds. Everyone's a winner.

PS. What the feck is a Tarmonbarry?

Here is another amazing fact, Galway is less than two hours from Dublin.
You are learning a lot today. What is crime like in Malahide?

well i look out my window and see shops, cafes, and progress in general. tbh its a bit too americanised here for my liking but by a lot, i mean more than a hundred. and farms don't make a lot of money, in case you hadn't noticed

I'd love to see you sit down and tuck into a bunch of euro notes with some gravy.

Who are more important in the greater scheme of things, the people who work in IT or the people who make food?

FlawedGenius · 02-10-2011 6:22pm

Yes please, Drogheda down to Bray, as far inland as Naas. The old pale basically. Bit like Luxembourg. Hopefully theyd still let us still play in the bogball and hurling.

Yeah I do have to think which is east and west its confusing,

I propose it should be right and left and top and bottom so Dublin is the right of Ireland cork is the bottom.

shannie · 02-10-2011 10:05pm

what a fail of a thread

why would you actualy even want to bother asking this question ?
get on with your life in the west just as everyone else does without complaining in the north south and east..
sheesh.
:eek:

If all the westies moved home there'd be about a dozen workers left in Dublin and 10 of them would be Polish or Filipino. Now with that much of the workforce gone the tax intake would collapse and there'd be no money to pay for the dubs dole and methadone.

languagenerd · 02-10-2011 11:24pm

Yes, because our country isn't small enough as it is....

jimbobaloobob · 02-10-2011 11:39pm

If it was divided they have to do without the shannons water supply.

my five hours crack was hyperbole, i'm perfectly aware how far away galway is, having driven there myself two years ago. (i'm having to repeat myself a lot today.) regarding crime, i don't personally know anyone who's been affected. though i did see a thread a few months ago about a guy in mayo/galway who got his bmw stolen, so you're not really winning here :cool:

The future is uncertain my friend,due to rising population and some rather odd weather the past couple of years food prices are only going one way and that is up.It never hurt to have precautions.In 10 years time your job could be obsolete(you never know)while the farmer will be around forever

Should Ireland be divided between East and West??
