I think this thread goes to show how much of a miserable pack of bast@rds we are with no national pride!

When i was a teenager i went for a little trip to Galway with the family and we went for a coach tour around Connemara, which I was dreading as it was crammed with the blue rinse brigade, but as we set on the journey i was taken aback by the beauty of the places we visited, in particular a place near Cong (where The Quiet Man was filmed) and the Kylemore Abbey.

Ireland does have some cracking spots. Personally I like Donegal and the islands off it, Connemara, parts of Kerry and as I'm a Dub I have to say there's no place like home.

Donegal Lass · 28-02-2008 10:15am

Galway city and of course, Donegal

tallus · 28-02-2008 10:21am

Wicklow, I never tire of visiting it.

28-02-2008 11:43am

Im a Dub but I was very impressed with Killarney when I went down for New Years so I'll say there!

Ya, my parents have a mobile home down there in Red Cross. Lovely little town to get away from it all for a weekend...

Galway!

Kerry, far and away the most beautiful place in the republic, i dunno, for some reason I just find the scenary in Connemara very depressing, might be the rain but even without the rain it's so bleak.

Clare cant beat home. cant wait to move back. i am a part of the culchie army that repopulates dublin on a sunday night and curses the red cow at 7pm on a friday.

She Devil · 28-02-2008 1:15pm

The sunny south east ....... Namely Waterford!
Or .. Killarney is lovely!

chopperbyrne · 28-02-2008 1:54pm

Other than Tallaght, I do like Wexford.

Some lovely beaches.

Especially Kilmuckridge.

RuailleBuaille · 28-02-2008 2:12pm

Slea Head on the Dingle Peninsula and anywhere in Wicklow. Good for the soul.

Best place in Ireland? It's got to be under an Irish woman.

Under an Irish woman set your standards higher...Under a foreign woman in Ireland is more like it. Or up a chimney.

What I meant was with the new rules requiring a passport to travel between the North and the 'UK mainland' it may as well not be.

1. There are no such rules.
2. Even if there were, it wouldn't change what is part of, and not part of the UK.

but

3. Northern Ireland is also part of an island known as Ireland.

Just to clarify the obvious.

cianclarke · 14-04-2008 12:56am

The place that had the biggest impact on me was Great Blasket Island, just astounding...

Nicest spot for a holiday and just to chillax is West Cork, out by Baltimore - you don't get the tour bus croud, and I know almost every side road in the place by now.

Nicest place to live? I really really like Dublin, and if I had the money the dream gaff would be a large apartment with secure parking in Dublin 2 / Ballsbridge, Ross O Carroll Kelly style.
(Wouldn't mind the golf TD red focking I to go with it...)

Tis a beautiful spot alright. The missus' parents have a gaff just outside the village and we spent many a weekend down there over the past few years. Great craic during the summer.

MarkOShea · 14-04-2008 6:11am

I'm sure a lot of Dubs would go for the Kilmuckridge/Blackwater/Curracloe area of Wexford alright, they seem to take over the area in Summer. Plenty of nice beaches and a few good pubs.

I'd have to go for Co. Kerry - pony races in Dingle, Couminole beach, Ring of Kerry, Killarney, Ventry beach etc. Love the place.

LurkingLady · 17-04-2008 9:39pm

The west, of course!
Would go with Westport personally, as it's a GREAT gateway to so many other wonderful places - as in: anywhere in Mayo, really

:D:D
Achill Island, Croagh Patrick! and Galway and Connemara are just a stone throw away

Can't go wrong with Westport

Go Westport!

:D

Galway is the best place in Ireland.

Galway by a mile. Sure it rained for a while any time we were there but if you are truly Irish this should not put you off. Clare comes a close second as the Burren is spectacular.

West Cork. I don't really like Goleen but the surrounding area is great. Schull is a great village, but is full of sailing knobs when I'm there, same with Crookhaven. Barleycove Beach ftw.

Also Dublin, I'm in the city centre every single day and I still love it,

The Velvet strand of Portmarnock Beach
