    I know the best/worst counties have been done but its an interesting topic..

    mines a tie between:

    carrickmacross, monaghan - nightlife and people, especially accents

    crossmolina, mayo - again craic and warm friendly people

    salthill:what a ledge of a place

    galway: love eyre's square

    I vote for Galway I love the walking streets it reminds me of crete when its sunny, and Salthill is great too.

    Westport

    Best - Ranelagh in Dublin (where I'm living at the moment!), Galway

    Worst (and just my own personal opinion) - Tuam, Mullingar and Ennis


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,575 ✭✭✭junkyard


    Cork, when they're no scumbags around, Kenmare in Co. Kerry is one of my favourites.:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,048 ✭✭✭Amazotheamazing


    Hard to know, I've always liked Kilkenny and Dingle. Not overly gone on Galway, lived there for a few years and it gets very small after a while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,061 ✭✭✭✭Nalz


    Galway, Wexford or Kilkenny for night life, Carlow isn't bad either.

    Kilcoole is easily the best. Glenroe, like.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,391 ✭✭✭arbeitsscheuer


    Best - Rathmines. Lot of good memories.

    Worst - Waterville, Co. Kerry. Dead as a doornail, and I spent far too many childhood summers there. Hated it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,469 ✭✭✭Pythia


    Clonakilty is lovely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,203 ✭✭✭Heyes


    Killorglan in co kerry, people are legends.

    then rathmines/ ranalgh in dublin


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭whassupp2


    Roscommon. Not too big, not too small

    :eek:

    I grew up in Carrick. Irelands answer to Hazzard County. Couldn't wait to get out of the place. The accent is freaking hilarious though :D

    Sandymount would be my favourite. Followed by Ranelagh.

    Galway wtf tbh cba.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,445 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    best rathmines - just looks like such a lovely place.

    worst bray - you gotta like drive through it with windows up and doors locked :P. well it's not that bad but you get my drift.

    It's the only town I know that seems to have a very friendly Garda full time directing traffic on the main street, even when there's no traffic to direct. :)


    Re nightlife - is the Oasis still going? I frequented it a few times in the 1980s.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,248 ✭✭✭Plug


    I like Clonmel as most of my cusoins live there. Tho Dublin city is clearly the best city.

    Ah, leave that poor garda alone.
    He got injured in duty some years back which left him 'not the full shilling'.
    I think it's lovely that the guards kept him employed, he seems to love directing the traffic!!!

    BTW:- Carrick is a complete sh!thole, & most of the people there are complete knackers.
    Nightlife is lousy, & no, the Oasis is no longer, thank God!!!

    I'd have to go with Galway... Have they finished tearing Eyre Square apart yet??

    Batterstown in Meath is very pretty too... Very well kept, dunno about nightlife though ;)

    I would guess that it depends on what is meant by "best?" For the arts? Galway has a reputation that goes beyond Ireland.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,606 ✭✭✭djmarkus


    Portrush.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 123 ✭✭AOR


    Dundalk ftw


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 199 ✭✭Joliegood


    Greystones is a fab place to live.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 24,600 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Galway. Why does anyone even feel the need to question such an undisputable fact?
