Ultimate All-Ireland Landmark Tournament

ChannelNo5

GPO i guess. at least you can get a rub of Chu Chulainn's lucky foot! (Or maybe you cant anymore)

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Guinness Storehouse - because I like Guinness, and there are always religious zealots hanging about outside the GPO and O'Connell Street is the most unappealing street in the whole city, in my opinion

Shocked at that one. Storehouse for me is down there with Temple Bar.

I voted for Temple bar because nice old buildings and historical events are great but everyday life is important too.
The actor Joseph Gordon Levitt has a web site where he collects people s photos and is currently doing Ireland. Some beautiful pictures but I was a bit disappointed that all the submissions were beaches and cliffs and no one thought of the people when trying to portray Ireland

Storehouse for me too.
It's O'Connell St. more than the building or the history that gives me no joy when I pass by

GPO for me - although as someone else pointed out, it's location has descended into kipsville, it's the better of the two (poor IMO) options.

Completely get you breezy. im thinking of what its become now. i used to love that area when it just had all the trendy second hand clothes and dingy nik nak shops and little art galleries.

GPO for me, although I do love a pint of Guinness.

ChannelNo5

I'm really surprised the customs house wasn't in there too

Kolido

GPO for the history.

Missed the last matches, would have voted Croker, darn.

Manzoor14

GPO, mainly for its immense place in Irish history.

I think I nominated five for Dublin and had to cut the Customs House to keep to my limit.

But yeah, agree with you that it deserves a mention alright.

Omackeral

GPO advances and will represent Dublin

Omackeral

Enniskillen Castle



Cuilcagh Mountain Trail aka Stairway to Heaven



Marble Arch Caves



Florence Court



Crom Estate



Devenish Island



Drumskinny Stone Circle

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Marble Arch Caves ; I love caves

JohnGreenFan

Cuilcagh Mountain Trail - no contest for me, climbed it last summer and the views were spectacular.

cdeb

Wow. Going to be honest here and say I knew nothing about Fermanagh, but they all look decent nominations.

I'll go with the Stairway to Heaven based purely off the photos (though it's kind of cheating for me to vote having admitted I'd never heard of any of them!)

ChannelNo5

Marble Arch caves. Looks quite cool.

I haven't heard of most of the places I've voted for so far (aside from Dublin and Clare, I think)... It's just a tournament on boards, not a geography test... :pac:

Purgative

Stairway to Heaven - other sites that have come up, I've known or had some awareness of but wow this was straight out of the blue - one for my must see list.

Ah, I'd feel bad for any real Fermanagh people to be messing up their county vote.

But then I guess meeting someone from Fermanagh is about as likely as meeting someone from Leitrim, so maybe you're right

I've been to Devenish and it is class, as is the boat trip there but vote Cuilcagh Mountain Trail aka Stairway to Heaven as it's right near the top of my to-do list, looks amazing

You're a better person than I, because I'd say... F**k 'Em! :pac::pac::pac:

And that goes for every county, not just Fermanagh

I've already messed with Wicklow with my nomination :pac:

Marble Arch Caves


Stairway to Heaven looks like the work of an apprentice carpenter.

You never know where they are hiding......


My vote for marble arch caves, know them all well, this is my favourite

Stairway to Heaven - I've wanted to do that for ages, had completely forgotten about it, thanks for the reminder!
