    That's the idea - to save a few quid, it's time to vote for which counties should be jettisoned out into the ocean, kicked out of the country, sent off like a sad dog with it's tail between it's legs.

    The country is up the financial sh*tter & it's time for cut backs, real cut backs & there are some counties we just can't afford anymore, so let's vote the sh*tiest ones out for good.

    Results will be sent to the Dail for official purposes.

    Poll to follow - please note that as there are only 25 options allowed on all poll options, the 6 counties up North are not included & I had to wipe out 1 county to fit. I chose Laois, as no-one really knows where it is or what purpose it serves.

    I would like to get rid of.... 187 votes

    Do we get a two for one then? IE: Laois gone automatically and another of our choice?

    There's going to be an overwhelming reply for Dublin because, even though it's the center of commerce for the nation, everybody else from the country has a massive chip on their shoulder because they're not from there and in true Irish begrudgery, will hate it.

    Edit: Donegal. The one county that didn't vote in the Lisbon treaty, shows how out of sync with the rest of the country they are.

    Yep - Laois is already gone. Consider it as nuked to kingdom come (not that anybody will really notice).

    I would have voted for Dublin, but there's too many culchies there doing all the hard work & they need the jobs.

    I voted West Meath as it is in the midlands, and borders Longford, Roscommon, Offaly, Meath & Cavan. That way, if we get rid of it, all the roads that go from these counties will lead to a big hole into which a lot of the nutters from the midlands will dissapear.

    I thought it was quite clever. :D

    Roscommon I guess.

    Has anyone ever been down there lately?

    Maybe someone should go down and check, just to make sure everything's okay and stuff.

    Why are people voting for Leitrim ?! As pointless a county as we are we're probably the cheapest one to run. You people fail at hypothetical cutbacks!

    I was there 3 weekends ago for the Turf Throwing Competition & Festival. It was mighty craic.

    (I am 100% serious - it was in Fairgreen, Market Street, Ballaghaderreen)

    Flood the midlands and turn it into a gigantic fish farm. Aren't of any use to anyone as they are.

    Seeing as all the country folk are voting for Dublin, let us all Dubs vote for Cork.

    If Cork and Dublin tie and both are kicked out Limerick will be the new capital and that will be our best revenge;):p
