    Until i was a few years i always thought carlow was just a town - it doesnt seem worthy of 'county' status

    I feel bad for getting rid of Laois now. Oh, well, no-one's gonna complain - they don't have access to the web there.

    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!
    well the title says vote out the worst county, not the cheapest one:D

    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.

    we have a plan

    Why go for just Dublin if we have the chance to get rid of the province?
    Leinster to sea :D

    It can't be Cavan. They are tight people and as such they are less likely to spend beyond their means. A credit card is simply a tool of the devil around them parts. We need their fiscal responsibility (tightness) in the years to come.

    I voted for Kildare. It is nothing but a commuter county for Dublin and I imagine there are a lot living there who are up to their eyeballs in mortgage debt for houses that were/are grossly overpriced and so far out of Dublin. Wipe it off the face of the Earth. Also it will destroy our horse racing industry which gets massively disproportionate amounts of money from the Dept. of Tourism, Culture and Sport considering it is quite an elitist sport like Sailing also, i.e. not everyone can go take part. Horse racing and its lesser form, Greyhound racing currently receive a quarter of the Sports budget expenditure. So for those reasons I think Kildare should be demolished.

    P.S Laois is a close second for not having built a bypass around Abbeyleix. God damn mutha-****ing traffic jams!!!

    How would voting out Dublin solve the recession though? That's where all the finance is generated. Get rid of Dublin and Ireland reverts to a 1900s basket case.

    Cork as there always going on about being a peoples republic!

    They had a chance when it was flooded last year to float off and become there own country but they didnt take it,

    They could just float in the atlantic and tell people that there from cork all day they'd be in there element

    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

    See, thats just mean!

    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


    Or maybe it'll be Tullamore..... ;)

    Surprise, surprise, the anti-Dublin brigade is out in force.

    It's not our fault that it's the capital of the country.

    Bring on the Dublin vs Everywhere else...

    P.S I voted for Leitrim. I honestly can't think of anything positive it's ever done, or anyone positive to come from it.

    Yes, but there will be comely maidens dancing at the crossroads. :D

    (i.e. not fat scangers in pyjamas and hoop earrings ...bye, bye Dublin)

    A brand new CBD with actual planning involved in it's formulation Instead of 10 main roads and a couple of parks mushed into the middle of the world's largest council estate?

    It has to be Cork. It's time become an independent republic now; cut off all links with the Republic of Ireland and the fúcked eurozone. We can have our 'Langer Currency' then.. with Keane, Sonia, Collins, Lynch et al. on the notes.

    Since the wise decision to get rid of Laois (possibly the most depressing county in Ireland) Offaly gets my vote. It's just such an absolute nothing county-only good thing there is the road to Dublin:P

    As a Dubliner, I voted for Dublin.

    See how long the rest last without being able to leech off us.

    I'd also be curious to see what culchies would whinge about without being able to trot out the anti-Dublin crap.
