    If you replace the letters in Dublin with Radar, its a palindrome.

    Not exactly what you're looking for, but still. Questions to set up palindromes...

    1.How many points did dublin get today?

    Dublin? Nil bud.

    2.What did they call that poncy exhibition again?

    Tralee. See. L'art!

    I'll try and think of some more

    Nope. It's the only one in Ireland though.

    Some others in Europe :

    Notton - Village near Leeds, England
    Ellemelle - Small town near Liege, Belgium
    Ateleta - Village in mid-Italy
    and many others.
