Recession Busters - Vote Out the Worst County in Ireland!

starbelgrade

That's the idea - to save a few quid, it's time to vote for which counties should be jettisoned out into the ocean, kicked out of the country, sent off like a sad dog with it's tail between it's legs.

The country is up the financial sh*tter & it's time for cut backs, real cut backs & there are some counties we just can't afford anymore, so let's vote the sh*tiest ones out for good.

Results will be sent to the Dail for official purposes.

Poll to follow - please note that as there are only 25 options allowed on all poll options, the 6 counties up North are not included & I had to wipe out 1 county to fit. I chose Laois, as no-one really knows where it is or what purpose it serves.

Do we get a two for one then? IE: Laois gone automatically and another of our choice?

Offaly - No brainer. Or Meath the dirty scumbags.

It's gotta be Dublin hasn't it?

El Siglo

Only one county?
Cork.

Indubitable

Limerick

Sorry Cork

irishleedsfan

Offaly. The home of Brian Cowen AND Neil Delamere. I hope that says it all:D

There's going to be an overwhelming reply for Dublin because, even though it's the center of commerce for the nation, everybody else from the country has a massive chip on their shoulder because they're not from there and in true Irish begrudgery, will hate it.

Edit: Donegal. The one county that didn't vote in the Lisbon treaty, shows how out of sync with the rest of the country they are.

Yep - Laois is already gone. Consider it as nuked to kingdom come (not that anybody will really notice).

I would have voted for Dublin, but there's too many culchies there doing all the hard work & they need the jobs.

I voted West Meath as it is in the midlands, and borders Longford, Roscommon, Offaly, Meath & Cavan. That way, if we get rid of it, all the roads that go from these counties will lead to a big hole into which a lot of the nutters from the midlands will dissapear.

I thought it was quite clever.

Ah cumon- who voted for Louth - sure itd hardly make any difference

Roscommon I guess.

Has anyone ever been down there lately?

Maybe someone should go down and check, just to make sure everything's okay and stuff.

partyatmygaff

Cavan for obvious reasons :pac:

x PyRo

Why are people voting for Leitrim ?! As pointless a county as we are we're probably the cheapest one to run. You people fail at hypothetical cutbacks!

Local-womanizer

Cavan,dunno why really.

And leave Donegal alone,so what if we voted no to Lisbon,we only done it to get noticed!

Gunsfortoys

To the people who voted dublin watch out, if you vote for another county its a bit of craic but if you vote dublin its downright offensive(!)

I was there 3 weekends ago for the Turf Throwing Competition & Festival. It was mighty craic.

(I am 100% serious - it was in Fairgreen, Market Street, Ballaghaderreen)

LOL

Not one bit surprised, I drove through it once, trying to find my way to Tipperary and all I could see for miles was bogland

Red Hand

Flood the midlands and turn it into a gigantic fish farm. Aren't of any use to anyone as they are.

we are fine, tanx for asking though

i agree we should become our own country, the republic of roscommon has a nice ring to it

Seeing as all the country folk are voting for Dublin, let us all Dubs vote for Cork.

If Cork and Dublin tie and both are kicked out Limerick will be the new capital and that will be our best revenge;):p

Louth=Drawwwwwwda=OUT YOU GO

Elaboration unnecessary.

Oh look, this thread again.


I predict the sh*tstorm to kick off on page 4.

Limerick. Bye bye special olympics. :pac:

Cork, coz we'd manage better on our own:D

Dublin is winning which means a thread lock is imminent.

Has to be Carlow, thats the county that I hear mentioned every now and then and think 'Oh yeah, Carlow, I forgot that was there'

KeithM89_old

Until i was a few years i always thought carlow was just a town - it doesnt seem worthy of 'county' status

I feel bad for getting rid of Laois now. Oh, well, no-one's gonna complain - they don't have access to the web there.

bye leitrim! Oh how little we knew ye

somebody forgot about louth til the end eh

Why go for just Dublin if we have the chance to get rid of the province?
Leinster to sea

It can't be Cavan. They are tight people and as such they are less likely to spend beyond their means. A credit card is simply a tool of the devil around them parts. We need their fiscal responsibility (tightness) in the years to come.

I voted for Kildare. It is nothing but a commuter county for Dublin and I imagine there are a lot living there who are up to their eyeballs in mortgage debt for houses that were/are grossly overpriced and so far out of Dublin. Wipe it off the face of the Earth. Also it will destroy our horse racing industry which gets massively disproportionate amounts of money from the Dept. of Tourism, Culture and Sport considering it is quite an elitist sport like Sailing also, i.e. not everyone can go take part. Horse racing and its lesser form, Greyhound racing currently receive a quarter of the Sports budget expenditure. So for those reasons I think Kildare should be demolished.

P.S Laois is a close second for not having built a bypass around Abbeyleix. God damn mutha-****ing traffic jams!!!

How would voting out Dublin solve the recession though? That's where all the finance is generated. Get rid of Dublin and Ireland reverts to a 1900s basket case.
