Which Part of Ireland Has the Most Horrid People

ClovenHoof

As a Corkman I was going to instinctually post Dublin - but that would have been more reactionary than fair. I once stayed with some people in Cabra and everyone I met was very nice. So there are pockets of human decency in Dublin.

Thinking about it long and hard for me it is Donegal. Particularly once north of Ballyshannon. Everyone seems to be a cross between Eric Cartman, the Banjo Player from Deliverance coupled with the most obnoxious control freak you ever met.

They are also incredibly insular and will accept no wrongdoing of any kind takes place in their county. It is always someone else fault. If you want to murder someone in Donegal, the Guards won't investigate you unless you are from another county.

Love the way Donegal folk don't give a **** about what the rest of the country does actually.

I love the way people are considered wildly different, depending on which part of a small island they come from.

Yer Aul One

I read the title of this thread and came in to say Ballyshannon

The_Valeyard

Good and bad people in all areas of the country.

Just a few c*nts give a whole area a bad name.

Wicklow.

All that prosperity & handsomeness leads to arrogance

I was going to say Dublin my self OP, but after reading that I think Cork.

Sh1tbag OToole

Definitely Dublin. Mainly because of the clampers and politicians

Macavity.

Not necessarily horrid, but for arrogance probably Cork people.

Every single village/town/city and county in Ireland has its minority of scum/dickheads. Most people are cool regardless of where they're from.

Nobody here gives a shíte what you think OP

People are all different, they cannot be judged because of where they are from, unfortunately they still are judged . Every County will have their share of as$holes and every County will have their share of saints. I have found people in general are decent and it's just bad luck if you bump into someone nasty .

Also if you bump into a decent person having a bad day because of relationship problems , financial problems or whatever it may be, well you may misjudge them by your experience of meeting them on an off day , when in fact no one is perfect and we all have off days. Hardly an accurate representation .

Id say Dublin has both the worst and nicest people in Ireland, its kinda obvious when you think about it with the population of the county and it has nothing to do with being from there, it just that people are people and when you have more living in one place you will get more at opposite ends of the spectrum. One thing I will say for people in Dublin is that whenever I've made a trip up there on my own and went into a bar during the day to watch a game, almost always you will find someone that will strike up a conversation with you. You don't really find that anywhere else

Once North of Ballyshannon?! So Ballyshannon and Bundoran are alright?! Eh I take it you've neverbeen to Donegal then so OP...

Waterford people are angry ****ers while cork are just full of ****.

Schwiiing

I had the misfortune of having to live with Cork lads in college. Each 1 a bigger arrogant wanker than the next. Any civilised individual would be too ashamed of that accent to actually open their mouths but not these *****. At least Dublin people had the decency to stay in Dublin but Cork just infested the place like Ebola.

joe stodge

Cork.

niallo27

The problem with cork people is that they genuinely think cork is the centre of the universe. Cork gaa fans are the worst.

I have to disagree here, I think you'll find that almost anywhere in the country. Anywhere I've ever drank anyway...

Jesus that ref is ****e is always a good conversation starter.

Doctor Jimbob

Cark, based on a combination of the OP and 'peoples republic bai'

Having spoken to around 15 cork people in my life I am clearly qualified to speak for all of the county.

Am I doing this right?

Live with a Cork wan now. Shes a pure bag of sh**te. Always leaves dirty plates, doesn't take out the bins, doesnt clean the common area and gives out to me for having the tv too loud watching Champions league football during the week when it is not even that loud. Mopes around in her PJs all the time aswell. I only put up with her because she is gone back to Cork from Thursday to Sunday. Moany auld bint

Was always given the impression that anyone living East of the Bann was bad but I've met a few 6 County Nationalists who I never want to meet again. Horrible people...

I agree, Donegal. For some bizarre reason the most arrogant people on this island even though The Road should have been filmed there. That stupid put on ooh aye accent.

ArtyC

I lived with a group of Italians who thought all Irish people, regardless of what county they were from, were two face faced and loved

bitching about people behind their backs, while being as nice as pie to their face. I disagreed with them at the time but I now think the

Italians may have had a point....
