I though the definition for a city is a certain population level and also a cathedral?
Maybe im wrong or its changed over the years...

So what exact criteria are required these days for a town/village to be classed as a
city?

Some of these figures are surely either made up, or are completely out of date.

A town has to have a charter to be a city. That's why Kilkenny is a city and Tallaght is not although Tallaght has more inhabitants.

That site is a load of rubbish.

I don't need a website to tell me we live in one of the shíttest countries in the world...

Bitchy women
Cold
No jobs
No facilities

Kilkenny isn't a city no more, they downgraded it there a while back. Absolute disgrace so it is, it being a former capital and everything.

Did anyone notice the top 10 list of mobile phone users? Finland is top with 67.8%, and Ireland isn't anywhere on list. As far as I know Ireland is 75% in this, and should have been top

SheroN

That site is on the internet it's whole contents must be true.

kilkenny is still a city... they did not down grade it.

SheroN

yes you're correct, there were attempts to downgrade it though. I was just testing ye all. Well done lazygit you did good.

Lump
