Most unfriendly county?

Well i'm a Cork man and i consider Kilkenny to be our biggest rivals in hurling, yet overall i find Kilkenny people to be a sound bunch. I actually prefer the Kilkenny people to the Tipp crowd when it comes to hurling rivalries.😃

I think the Waterford persecution complex is justified imo. Compared to the other cities, Waterford always seems to get a proper shafting from government after government.

I can't say I have seen any difference on a county basis with a couple of exceptions. I went on holiday (camping) 40-odd years ago to Clare and found that the money grubbing was endemic, and not very pleasant people in a couple of the sites we stayed at. Come to think of it it was about the same as a camping holiday in France where they were doing you a favour to take your money. The other exception was a year I spent in very, very rural south Tipp and the people were exceptional, warm, friendly and very willing to engage and do what they could for you.

Can't say I've been to every county, but from my own experience I'd say the midlands was the least friendly (particularly Carlow), working class Dublin the most friendly. Also found northern counties to be quite friendly.

Dublin by some distance. Think it's the same in most major cities though, London wouldn't be that friendly but Liverpool I can't get away from the locals they talk so much.

Mayo, East Galway.

Louth sort of. I lived in Dundalk recently for work for over 2 years and in general got a very unfriendly vibe off them. Odd considering the place is walking with foreigners. Being served at tescos or the like by locals they'd be all chat to a local but clam up or shoot down chat when your not local. Was asked if I was a guard a couple of times out walking or at a bottle bank, maybe i do look like one a bit. The weird fcuking stare they have that traces you out of sight.

In work there was different because its a closed environment and it's expected to treat people with decency so they acted different. Now I can't say that about anyone from Drogheda quite the opposite but I've never met locals in Drogheda.

I think it makes a big difference if you meet them in their home area or away.

I find the unionist are pretty sound, spent some time in bushmills area in paisleys heartland and they very nice people.

do a better chipper too than the sh1t we get in the free state.

The answer is Carlow. Seriously, has anyone met a nice person from that county?

I found East Galway the unfriendliest & unwelcoming area and Donegal the most disrespectful of other people, the way the drive for example. 

Dublin the friendliest followed by Cork and Sligo with city and town people being more open, less reserved & less likely to suffer from the whole "keeping up with the jones’s" superior attitude. 

Leitrim I think. But in fairness, it's hard to be friendly/unfriendly when there's nobody there.

People are very friendly to outsiders in busy tourism counties where it's worth their while to be friendly to outsiders.

The least fun answer is there are no unfriendly counties in Ireland. You might run into rough areas of Limerick or Dublin but they don't reflect the whole counties and I agree with others, I think the Dubs are possibly the most friendly of the bunch.

..

I don't think Irish are anywhere near as friendly as we were before the Celtic Tiger but still quite friendly.

As for counties, my only experience of people from Antrim was on a holiday in Portugal, this couple got talking to me in a bar as they heard my Dublin accent. They proceeded to tell me they didn't like the bar and don't usually come in because its full of English people. Now it is english owned but the clientele were 50/50 Irish and English who were all friendly and chatting to each other. They had a very stuck up and nasty vibe about them. Funnily enough they were yearly visitors to that part of Portugal which always has lots of English people.

Can't say Dubliners are unfriendly to me anyway. Must be in my experience South Tipperary, always seem to end up in some kind of argument with them!
