What Counties have you never been to?

BoozyBabe

Ok, so we've done the which countries have you visited,
now it's time for which counties in Ireland have you NOT visited
(obviously only really intended for Irish boardsters)

Or if you're a Dub, it'd prob be easier for you to state which counties you HAVE visited (as we all know ye think the universe revolves around Dublin!!!):D

(em, sorry!):o

BoozyBabe

I've been to all counties at least once, but I can't really remember being in Derry City (it's the only 1)

Femelade

never been to the north. or leitrim, longford, meath, w meath, rosscommon , louth and offaly.


i dont get out much.

Oriel

I can safely say I've been in all the counties. I spent 2 weeks every year in the back of my parents car, dragging a caravan on holidays. I didn't particularly enjoy it at the time, but I couldn't think of anything I'd rather do more today

seamus

I can safely say I've been in every county in the Republic, even if it was only driving through. I've only been in the lower NI counties, driving to Donegal.

ciaran76

Galway and Clare are the only 2 I have not been too.

robinph

Does it count if the train didn't actually stop on the way through the county or not?

lodgepole

All of them in the Republic. Only been in the North once, driving from Dublin to Belfast.

I don't know, but I doubt it.

I mean, when you fly over a country & you can see it's fields, lakes, roads, mountains etc, & you're in it's airspace, you still haven't actually been in that country, have you?

I mean you can't say I visited X when you just flew over X to get to Y.

(I don't think!!)

connundrum

Longford, Roscommon, Sligo, Donegal, Monaghan or any of the 6 nordies.. in fairness if I'm not invited then I don't go

Edit - and Cavan.. don't know how I forgot that one :rolleyes:

Nightwish

I've never visited any of the counties in Connacht or Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal or the North counties with the exception of Antrim, when I drove to Belfast for the ferry.

cournioni

Derry, Donegal, Tyrone, Kilkenny, Carlow, Waterford, Wexford.

Shock-Treatment

I've been to them all. my parents bored the sh1t out of us as kids by dragging us around the country every fuppin sunday.I'd appreciate it alot more now, but it was crap as kids. where do they bring my kids? maccie d's.
I knew they were just trying to torture us.

Cosine

Almost all in the Republic but none in the North.

Offaly and Wicklow are the only two I know for sure I've never visited

biko

I've been to 29 counties, still have WW, WD and WX on the list.

projectmayhem

To drive to county Antrim you have to go via either county Down or county Derry. based on the other counties you've not visited you must have gone through Down. Congratulations, one less county not visited!:D

mise_me_fein_V2

Never been to Sligo, Leitrim, Derry, - that's it.

Wouldn't mind seeing Derry, but couldn't care less about Sligo and Leitrim.

Tobias Greeshman

The NI counties, Monaghan, Leitrim.

A childhood of your parents dragging you around on holidays with a caravan, seems to get in a large number of counties.

Blisterman

In the Republic: Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo, Monaghan, Cavan, Longford, Roscommon.
In the North: Fermanagh, Tyrone, Derry and Antrim.

Yes, I'm from Dublin.

chubba1984

I've been to all counties except Carlow, Fermanagh and Longford

Tobias Greeshman

Fermanagh's apparently NOT in the republic, who would of thought it.

Tar.Aldarion

Never been to:
Wexford
Louth
Kilkenny
Waterford
Kerry
Tipperary
Down

Eminem

I have been to Galway, Dublin, Meath , West Meath , Kerry, Clare, Tippeary,Wicklow and Kildare

ShiverinEskimo

I'm shocked at the amount of people who haven't been up past the border. Being from Dundalk fair enough its part of life to tip up to Newry for the cheap booze in sainsbury's.

Seriously though - get on up and see the place. Especially Belfast and the Giants causeway and Derry. Some great places. The nightlife in Belfast is super too. A worthy weekend away.

Oh and to keep on topic. Them all. Many times. Never been in Limerick city though. At I doubt thats going to change until someone gives me good reason to.

Go take a geography lesson.

As a native & inhabitant of Ulster, I can assure you Fermanagh's NOT in the Republic.

Been to all of them in the south. North only Belfast and Derry.

I can picture your wedding now Boozybabe. You, the bride, in a pair of oversized wellies, with green chords (waist 8 inches too big) with a thing brown belt holding them up. A navy wool jumper with holes in it, and a caipín.


The groom (your brother) standing holding onto the alter (alter = counter in supermacs) because his feet point at eachother and cant stand his weight, dressed in a grey wool suit, no shirt, just a vest, but it really brings out his eye. His smile is obvious, you can hear the whistle of air from his remaining teeth as he breaths heavily, spittle landing on you with each deep breath......


The bridesmaids moo and bleat in favour of the wedding, except one who is eating from the faeces pile, your aunt, but she never approved of this union. Everyone knew she wanted your brother for herself.

The priest annouces you husband and wife as he concecrates you with his weiner, shouting "GWAN BOYSSSSSSS"

The Afters go off without a hitch. The garlic and cheese chips for main course are a hit, the fighting starts early, and everyone has a great time.

Oh it will be a great day, ye big muck slinging culchie!

Kojak

Never been to any of the Ulster counties.

Also Wexford and Waterford.

BoozyBabe

Ouch!!!!

Did I hit a raw nerve with Joejoem??

No, I just thought I'd hit back with a generalisation since you had made one!

Seriously though country kids, you dont have to hate people from the capital just because your not from the capital. We dont see you (unless your from Longford/Monaghan) as any different from us :v:

BoozyBabe

Out of curiosity:- Why Longford / Monaghan?

What do you know about those areas?

Different strokes for different folks I s'pose..

Mossy Monk

Laois
Wicklow

I've been to Kerry, Wexford, Wicklow, Kildare... that's about it. I'll be visiting the rest of the country whenever I start driving.

JustCoz

I've been to Galway, Mayo, Antrim, Wicklow, Meath, Cork and I'm from Dublin. Jesus that's really sh*t i should get out more. I hear Kilkenny's pretty cool. I really want to go to Galway for the summer coz none of my friends have made any solid plans and Galway's always a good laugh. Anyone from Galway think that's a good idea?

You'll just have to come down here and see for yourself I guess. Mary I rag week this week, 90% girls, whats not to love?

Creamy Goodness

been to all counties except Co. Down.

Pythia

Sligo, Leitrim, Donegal, Cavan, Monaghan, Waterford, Kilkenny, Longford, Louth. May have passed through some in car but I don't think that counts.

And in NI (it being a foreign country and all), only been to Belfast and Armagh, so I suppose everywhere else.
