    Tipperary for me anyway because most of my relations are from there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭rediguana


    Cork has the best accent.

    And the worst - you're up, Donegal!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,335 ✭✭✭rugbug86


    galway for me - it has the living room, CP's, supermacs and NUIG


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 324 ✭✭JaysusMacfeck


    Any of the counties on the western seaboard because they actually have Irish culture. The rest is no different to British culture,. Dublin being the worst dick sucker.

    That'd be pretty much the same reason as me. Same place and all. BUT, seeing it from a person who's location is Kilkenny...well, thats just weird.

    Another favoured county would be Carlow, just for that classic Gaelic jersey.

    Kerry is also another lovely place.

    But my main vote goes to Tipp.

    I like Dublin and Cork. Both are a welcome break from the other.

    Ever notice the Cork accent is the same as the Jamacin one?

    Like if they say beer can it sounds like a Jamaican saying bacon.

    Mayo has to be the best, with fantastic scenery, people and football what more can u ask 4!!

    worst unfortunately has to be Louth..im from there..just nothing really to the county! or Dublin too! :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭qwertplaywert


    Most liked is Louth of course!up the wee county!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,698 ✭✭✭InFront


    Has to be Tipperary: for its mountains and for Lough Derg
    And Dublin for being where my house is:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,150 ✭✭✭LivingDeadGirl


    Cork, for the 'rebel' spirit!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,558 ✭✭✭netwhizkid


    God created the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Kerry, Excellent scenery plus the greatest footballers this decade. Kerry FTW


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 137 ✭✭greine


    Kerry, West Kerry.....fab...and Daingean Uí Chúise!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    Cork, for the 'rebel' spirit!
    In fairness, theres no 'rebel' spirit there that isn't present in any other county in Ireland.

    Unless you mean theres a greater fanbase of the IRA present in Cork...in which case...not something to be proud of...

    Dublin obviously. What an utterly pointless thread. :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 510 ✭✭✭Car Mad


    anywhere but cork also.
    Waterford are the best besides hurling and football :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 137 ✭✭greine


    Up The Dubs!
    Not according to the other thread!!:)
    Cork, for the 'rebel' spirit!

    Not even for the rebel spirit, ye'll probably give Dublin a run for their money on the most hated thread!!!:D

    We love a good fight here in the wesht!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    Wexford, because it has Hook Head - my most favourite place in the country.

    It really depends on what you're looking for from the county though, doesn't it? I mean, the west coast counties are certainly my favourite for a quite week or so, beautiful scenery, quiet pubs etc. whereas Cork or Galway are my favourites to go for a more active time, given that they have busy pubs/clubs, loads of students floating about. Cork has some beautiful scenery too, but the west coast is far more superior in that aspect.

    Oh and I'm aware Galway is on the west coast btw :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭Scraggs


    Carlow ftw.

    Carlow appreciates your vote :D

    I have to say I really like Cork, always liked what I seen there and great history!

    Oh dear. That isn't an accent you have in Cork, it's an affliction. :D

    Donegal has everything.

    End of debate. Lock this thread now.

    Even the highest poverty rate in Ireland! Well done Donegal :D

    Just kidding (though its actually true, can't think of the source at the moment though), Donegals a lovely county.

    No need to mention the corrupt Gardaí either ;)

    Ah yes, that old chestnut. Fancy a 4 bed semi for less than 200k?

    Ah come off it. You all know it's got to be Derry. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,810 ✭✭✭lodgepole


    Kerry, Clare and Wicklow if I didn't need to work. But since I do, Dublin. I've never enjoyed Cork as a city, but West Cork is great country. Galway is nice but too small. I would live in Belfast too, if a city outside of the Republic counts in a poll on the most liked county.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 648 ✭✭✭exiot


    I love Cork, havent explored much of the county as Im situated in the city for college, but its a great place.

    I love Mayo as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,119 ✭✭✭✭event


    obviously the wee county

    I second Wexford don't forget Curracloe beach! I often stayed at Hook Lighthouse my uncle was keeper there. I also like Cork for the craic, people who say they don't like Cork are jealous (I'm not from Cork btw).

    Port na Blagh used to be lovely but I haven't been there since the 1970's. Probably all built up now?

    Sadly, yes. Its ridiculous the amount of holidays home that have sprung up there.
