    Based on a healthy debate on the rugby board, I'd just like to do a quick straw poll on which of the four major cities in Ireland is the biggest dump. Please base this on your actual impression of the city rather than political issues...:pac:

    What's the size limit for a city? None. It is to do with designation- used to be a cathedral.

    For gigs and general stuff to do, Limerick is probably the worst

    Dublin being the best in that regard

    For general atmosphere and buzz, Cork and Dublin are the worst

    MAJOR cities...I also left out Belfast and Derry. I didn't want to get to confuse folks with more than 4 choices.

    Theres only 1 city in ireland, the rest are all large villages.


    Dublin wins!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,125 ✭✭✭westendgirlie


    I always thought you had to have a cathedral and a population of X for city status.

    And I used the ? as I said I thought Kilkenny was. So is it or isn't it?

    Dublin and i'm a dub. It's not even up for debate, it's the only proper metropilis, if you wanna call it that, in this country.

    Limerick is the one city in Ireland that looks like the Celtic Tiger never arrived to.

    Those that think that might be a good thing obviously never lived through the 1980s.

    Have you ever been to Ballymote? There's a committee out on the road still waiting for the horseless carriage to arrive. Although technically it's probably not a city.

    It doesn't even appear on maps. You have to travel through a hole in time to get there.

    Isn't Armagh a city ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,125 ✭✭✭westendgirlie


    Hey! Leave Ballymote alone




    everybody else did


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,534 ✭✭✭KKkitty


    Kilkenny City has many streets in its city centre and has the infamous Cats Laugh festival every year. It may not match up in size compared to other cities in Ireland but it's a city nonetheless. If you don't like Kilkenny City don't come to it simple as.
