You may as well throw in Ardal O'Hanlon from Carrickmaccross

Only reason I knew he was from Monaghan was his father

I love Cream Crackers, you had me almost convinced that your county had something to offer.

Then I googled it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cream_cracker

They were invented by a Dublin man in Dublin.
You're welcome to keep trying though.

Cork - Tanora.

It's manufactured in Dublin 11


anyways....here's my list for my adopted home and my home home

Cork
Ireland's Culinary Capital - the English Market, Kinsale, West Cork, etc.
Roy Keane & Bill O'Herlihy - nuff said.
Blackrock Observatory - check it out
Crane Lane
Patrick St on a fine day
Ronan O'Gara - we'd have no European Cups or Grand Slam without this mamoth of a player.
The accent - love it or hate it, there's no escaping it!
A proud brewing tradition - the stout brewed in Cork is superior to anything Diageo can produce in Dublin.

Limerick
Comedy and natural wit - Limerick wit is unmatched in my opinion
Rugby and Thomond Park - it's just unique.
Irish Coffee - first brewed in Foynes in 1940.
Fashion - thanks to magnificent work by Limerick College of Art & Design
The River Shannon - majestic.
Lough Gur
Bridesmaid syndrome

Joe Dolan was not gay

He had women all over Ireland man for him and his showmanship

I was barman at one of his concerts in the midlands and his audience was pretty much all mad, screaming women

Here's a thread from the Waterford City forum on recipes. You have to eat them fast as they go stale fast. They really are lovely though. I'm not actually from Waterford so I can't use the blaa as my answer. Hurling is a bit of a cop out so I'm going to say Kilkenny Castle and the adjoining park. Not a product per se, but a brilliant icon for Kilkenny.

While the first offical meeting for the GAA was in Thurles, (did any Tipp person mention this?) the idea of setting up the organisation was at a meeting in my local town of Loughrea.

Carlow. It hasn't been produced in many years but I have fond memories of Corcorans drinks; mainly the orange and cola. The orange was nicer than any other fizzy orange drink I've ever tasted. I used to love the label on the bottle that had a picture of a castle. I didn't know at the time it was Carlow castle.
