Which city in the country do you like most?

darkman2 · 29-05-2007 6:15pm #1

Simple question.....if you could choose to live in one of these cities which would it be and why do you like that town/city?:)

Attol · 29-05-2007 6:19pm

Galway. It's KEEWT!

Thrill · 29-05-2007 6:29pm

I like Cork the best. It's great.... because I live here.

jesus_thats_gre · 29-05-2007 6:33pm

Lol wtf is Sligo doing in there.

darkman2 · 29-05-2007 6:36pm

Is Sligo not the next biggest town so to speak? True may aswell have put in Muff in Donegal while I was at it:D

No offense to Sligonians of course.....:)

MayMay · 29-05-2007 6:36pm

I live in Kildare but either Cork or Galway. Definitely not Dublin!

darkman2 · 29-05-2007 6:38pm

Is Kildare not basically a suburb of Dublin now:D

Celbridge deffo is anyway!

I liked Tullamore when I worked there, could probably live there too.

Apart from that, Galway FTW

Mrs. MacGyver · 29-05-2007 7:26pm

Galway, it had a lovely feel to it wehen i was living there 3 years ago . Was there this week for work and i realised i really missed it sob:(

Love2love · 29-05-2007 7:30pm

Nah, it has to be the capital. There is just something about it that I love, I don't really know what.

Both Dundalk & Drogheda are bigger then Silgo and Dundalk is a gateway town!

kelle · 29-05-2007 7:37pm

Definitely Galway. We used to go there for a weekend every 2 months. It's a buzzing city.
With 3 kids,there's no time or money for weekends away anymore.

Mossy Monk · 29-05-2007 8:18pm

Cork followed very closely by Galway.

Schlemm · 29-05-2007 8:25pm

Galway

Sligo people get all brooding and sullen when you tell them its not a city, also the only people I've ever met who uniformly said they hated Galway. In fairness, there are more than 200 cities in the UK with over 100,000 people in them, just to put things in perspective.

Doomspell · 29-05-2007 8:41pm

Galway followed by Cork

tbh · 29-05-2007 9:26pm

Wat, no Letterkenny hai?

darkman2 · 29-05-2007 9:27pm

hmmm from the voting it looks like Dublin is running away with it:cool: That could be because most are from Dublin (I dont think we are that selfish though;) ) or it could be that the rest of the country have just seen the light shining bright on the East coast and just prefer the big schmoke:) 2 votes for Belfast?:rolleyes:

Liam Byrne · 29-05-2007 9:33pm

No question in my mind - Limerick.

If I had to live in any other city in Ireland it'd be Cork......

As for Sligo being a city - I'd imagine that the Mayor of Sligo would know best: http://www.sligoborough.ie

Historically, any place with a cathedral and/or a charter is a city. And since Sligo HAS a cathedral - www.sligocathedral.ie - there's no point sneering at it or saying that some towns are bigger than it.

smashey · 29-05-2007 9:33pm

Where's Derry, Kilkenny, Newry, Armagh and Lisburn? All cities.

/awaits Waterford attacks on Kilkenny.

We cant include what are merely sattelites of Dublin (with the exception of Derry)......Can we?;)

Were talking real cities here - not pretenders

Controversial, but fair.

byte · 29-05-2007 9:47pm

Definitely Galway.

Diarmsquid · 29-05-2007 9:50pm

Lived in Dublin all my life, but Galway is such a great city.

Gazza22 · 29-05-2007 10:58pm

Just back from Cork today, had a good time! I was in Galway a few months ago too....hmmm to choose

cson · 29-05-2007 11:03pm

The wesht is the place to be. No fear of a brick in the face out wesht, unlike.....

Kojak · 29-05-2007 11:10pm

Galway ftw.

No one has mentioned Athlone yet....

Amazotheamazing · 29-05-2007 11:13pm

Limerick

Dublin for me.

I'm a big fan of amenities.

Jonny Arson · 29-05-2007 11:49pm

Galway and Waterford would be the only other cities in Ireland I'd consider living in. Galway is just deadly and Waterford suprised me by it's distinct alrightness after thinking the place was a kip!

and LOLZ @ the person voting for Sligo

JIZZLORD · 30-05-2007 12:12am

when i voted galway and seen sligo with only one vote i felt guilty, i'm a sligo lad but im down in the uni in galway.
I love galway as it's very laid back and often random, it's small, yet it's big, but not too big. I admit, Dublin is obviously the best place for shopping for general shi.te, but i love galway. But for now it's a sligo based summer for me...

exiot · 30-05-2007 12:19am

Cork and then Galway, but Im being biased as I study down in Cork, both are great cities

eirebhoy · 30-05-2007 12:21am

You'd think Galway would be running away with the poll judging by the replies so far.

Cork and Galway are not cities - well to me anyway. I should have said in the poll 'would you rather live in the city or one of these towns':D;)

biko · 30-05-2007 12:27am

Galwaaaaaay
We have the Gal and the Way

Ouch.....

For me Cork followed very closely by Galway.
Dublin isn't for living in, should only be used for All-Ireland matches.......

Hello Jack :rolleyes:

bug · 30-05-2007 12:56am

whoever said Limerick is lying.

Karmafaerie · 30-05-2007 1:54am

Deffinately Limerick, or maybe Waterford.

Cork is too hilly, Galway is one street, and Dublin is a district of London.

fullstop · 30-05-2007 2:04am

How can you include sligo and not kilkenny

Derry ftw

darkman2 · 30-05-2007 2:40am

Well, Dublin is winning:D

nesf · 30-05-2007 2:45am

I prefer Galway to Cork as cities go, but living in Cork is nearer to both our families which makes all the difference really when you've a young kid.

Black Swan · 30-05-2007 7:08am

Galway: I'm into the arts (creative writing and theatre).

Blitzkrieger · 30-05-2007 7:45am

Cork - it's very relaxed and laid back bai.....

Anti · 30-05-2007 8:37am

Dunno which muppets picked waterford. The place is one big halting site

humanji · 30-05-2007 8:47am

Definitely Dublin. There's so few Irish there, it's like living on the continent!

Tar.Aldarion · 30-05-2007 8:48am

How could anybody pick sligo?
I am also from there, and I can't see what you see in it.

Anyway, galway is much better than dublin to me, it's not even close.

azezil · 30-05-2007 10:07am

Born and raised in Kilkenny myself, given the choice would I live there? Oh HELL NO!

I've been to Galway many times, I really don't see the appeal, any time I've been there I've been bored silly, frankly I think its a shíte city, as is Cork and most of the rest, for me its Dublin all the way!
