    Pah, it's always so fashionable to say galway, which is winning if you exclude Dublin.

    I haven't been to Sligo or Cork but have the rest. Born in Dublin. Voted Belfast

    By the way . . . Sligo? What about Kilkenny/Derry surely bigger?

    Bit of a stretch to call anywhere other than Dublin or maybe Belfast a "City".

    imo.

    Yeah, they're more like overgrown villages or towns at best.

    If I were born one as one of the underprivileged that are born outside of Dublin, I wouldn't have the audacity to do anything other than jump in to my slurry pit and end it all. Don't think I could live with myself being a bogger.

    I think there's about 10 technical cities on the island.

    I believe all the ones listed other than sligo meet the criteria.

    "Technical" me bollix.

    Just because somewhere has a large-ish church or a large-ish "university" doesn't make them a city.

    Limerick - I'm from there so it gets my vote and it has made significant progress in the last few years.
    Dublin - never really warmed to the place but it's not the worst.
    Cork - A dump populated by egos.
    Waterford - A slightly charming kip but I wouldn't live there.
    Galway - Its fashionable to say its great it seems. I've had good weekends there but its nothing special.
    Sligo - Lols.

    I live in Galway now and love everything but the traffic. Combine the atmosphere and laid back charm of Galway, Limerick traffic and sense of humour, Dublin gigs (but nothing else!!) and waterford weather and you'd have the perfect city.

    Waterford - it has the best geographical location and the best weather. And it has blaas.

    Dublin, definitely.

    Kilkenny should definitely be in the poll though, especially if Sligo is (though it shouldn't be IMO) ...

    Dublin, then Belfast. Wouldn't consider any of the rest.

    inaccurate poll result as people will vote for the city they're from for the most part - hence dublin in front due to simple demographics. Galway is undoubtedly getting the non partisan vote.

    limerick for me, has done a huge amount of redevopment in the past few years. then galway.

    cant stand the look of cork. traffic puts me off the place also.

    Sligo looks kinda nice when you approach from the dublin side but then you relise it is quite a kip when you get to the town centre. I go there quite often and not much there tbh. the centre needs a lot of redevopment
