    on more days than anyone else.

    http://www.rte.ie/news/2008/0826/work.html

    excerpt: Workers in Cork have the worst attendance record in the country at almost five sick days, closely followed by the southeast, the west, and Co Wicklow.

    Employees at Dublin-based firms take sick days the least often, at three days a year.


    So, what were yours? Boyo!

    It's no wonder they are all getting sick. You can't turn on the telly now for the announcements of boil notices in one of these rural backwaters. :D

    I've always suspected Cork people are lazy workshy feckers, but I'd be more interested to see the breakdown in figures between men/women.

    Sure you can't help but take a sick day after a great weekend of GAA in Croker.
    Luckily for Dublin employers they never seem to have that problem.

    Dind't think that Munster crowd knew the way to Croke Park until Final Day

    Cork people aren't off sick, they're working another job.

    5 is the highest average? That's low compared to some of the people I've worked with.

    And Donegal people take the least amount of sick days - that's because unemployment is so high there and you need a job to take a sickie.
