Ballina,Co.Mayo!

Borris-in-Ossory, Co. Laois

Honourable mention to Tipp Town, it's lucky it gets little attention being so close to Limerick city
Well apart from that infamous episode on Primetime in 2005. Nothing has changed....

Cork. It's more the people than the place though.

CreepingDeath

Offaly FTW ! Even the name hints at how bad it is.

Those are fine choices guys but my vote goes to Urlingford Co. Kilkenny.

Its entire economy is dependent on Bus Eireann buses passing through.

Holsten

Limerick.

Horrible, horrible place.

Rory123

Fundalk, Co. Louth.
Mullagh, Co. Cavan.

yep definitely Rathkeale, a sh1thole of the highest level.

Melange

Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary.

It's essentially a bunch of rough-as-f*** pubs surrounded by council housing. A deeply depressing place.

I can see why people wouldn't like Dublin. I personally live in the complete in the far north on the border with meath. The nearest anything is about 3 miles away. I love living here.
But in fairness since there's plenty of dublin posters here there's going to be very few people saying that their hometown is a ****hole.

IMO Dublin City. Can't stand it.

J.S. Pill

I feel really sorry for all the crew of RTE's Nationwide.

Imagine spending all your time going from one provincial sh*t-hole to another and having to listen to Mary Kennedy and whats-his-name Sh*te on about whatever provincial sh*thole they're in.

Not far off, same goes for abbeyfeale and castleisland.

HashSlinging

Bray is fine, there are pockets of sh!tholes like all towns/Villages, but that adds to the mix of people.

Theres actually a good sense of community in Bray, and the people are not pretentious. Its a lot better than some of the more affluent sh1thole areas in Dublin, where children cant even walk to school...and having money buys you a pardon from jail..

Duiske

I lived in Clonsilla for a while and its a kip, but moved to Sandymount and it was great, so can't really pick Dublin.

I'll go along with that.

ah its not that bad,plenty of decent enough pubs.(ish)thats ncw.the others are sh1tholes and am a louth man!!!

Rory123

Lads let's just face the fact that Ireland is 70% kip, 30% ok. There are parts of every province, county, city, town, and village that have their bad spots. Just like most places in the developed world. If you go to Australia, Canada, France, South Africa the locals will tell you how much of a kip places within that country are.

Basically we live in a country where the majority of it is a kip. I'm ok with that. I don't hate Ireland. There's way worse places to be born like Lesotho or Haiti. But it's still generally a kip.

Riamfada

Yeah but the kipness ratio is shifting to a growing number of ****holes

I honestly believe that if you got 10 people in a room and told them to come up with a more depressing programme about absolutely nothing important they wouldnt even get close to nationwide. The last one i seen they spent 20minutes talking about some eejit in Kildare whose father made horseshoes thirty odd years ago:p

Sad thing is they're never going to run out of sh*t-holes to visit

'Dublin' is a faily large place to lump together. Various places in Dublin make the list though. I lived in Kimmage for a year and it's up there. It was £60 on the monopoly board for a reason.

Main Street, Bundoran in Donegal in mid July can be an unpleasant place.

Urlingford gets my vote though. It's just pointless in too many ways.

I never liked Sligo town. The county is lovely, but town is awful. I was never a fan of Offaly either.

There's plenty of places in Dublin - that'd need it's own thread.

Heisenberg.

CARRICK ON SUIR, Co. TIPPERARY without a DOUBT!

I like to call it Carrick on Sewer, or just plain 'ol Carrick on Shite. Horrible town. No jobs. No decent shops. No book shop! No nothing.

Constant grey cloud looms over the place.

Rabid dogs wander the streets in search of babies dumped by their junkie mothers.

The schools are shyte, delapitated, rusting, for Playstation fans imagine the school in silent hill.

Yokes are like 1.50e in the town so everybody is always off their faces.

ireland is nowhere close to 70% kip or even 30% kip; where in ireland can you compare to the favelas in rio of which there are hundreds, there are some bad parts of this country no doubt but many many wonderful parts too
