    What is the worst county in Ireland?

    Is it Co Mayo? - they actually lost a "which county is best?" poll in their own forum against.....Donegal:eek:

    Observe http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055579900&page=4

    I speculated that this may be due to a lack of broadband in Mayo. But if they themselves think it then it must be true. Nice cliffs though.


    Maybe we should leave Dublin out. It clearly is the best county amongst the dross of mediocrity out in country land so it's inclusion would be kind of unfair.:p

    Is that because you're from Cork?

    We'll just go with the place where there's most likely to be less people on boards.

    County Longford. It's completely useless.

    From there, and I must agree. Although Offaly is worse ;)

    I have to say Offaly depresses the sh*t out of me, my mother is from there and while I like seeing my family once in a while, I'm never sorry to see the back of the place. I've tried to change my mind about it but it nearly puts me crying. Flat, featureless, boggy land as far as the eye can see, dodgy accents and absolutely nothing to do. And I'm from Co Roscommon!:o

    Those Donegal feckers hijacked the poll... Its a bit like 'A Nation Once Again' by the Wolfe Tones winning that vote for worlds favourite song.

    Aw :(

    I hope I'm not either of those things. If I am I'm sorry. :(

    I work in Tipp, the countryside of it is actually really lovely, but the towns- Tipp town, Thurles, Roscrea, Carrick on Suir.... so so depressing and stuck in the 80s. I feel kind of sorry for people who live in those towns.

    Dublin is great, really enjoy visiting and all that but as for being the best county, I'm not convinced- plenty of positives but too many negatives on the other side...

    Right first time. Place is like the seventeenth century. Remember the Mayo Echo Lough Lannagh article?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Problem there is, no one knows anything about either county, so can hardly pick them.

    Thank you! People just assume that Roscommon is sh*te because there are no big towns and we're crap at football. I'm not blinded by devotion, but I genuinely have been to worse places on this fair island of ours :D That said, I wouldn't be legging it to Roscommon for a stag weekend or anything

    By what measure? Because although I love my Dublin city, I'll concede the city and county is way down the list on a number of issues. Or are you referring to people who annoy you?

    It's obviously the county that last comes to mind, Co. Roscommon. It is the original homeland of the Bogger. All that flat land and bog.
