errr...what about cork?

Now there's a complete sh!ithole if ever there was one.

Obviously not included in the poll because the bar chart isn't
big enough to accommodate all the votes it would receive.

It's high time for a Mary Harney joke.

Felt safer going out in college in Limerick than I do back home in Tralee. Says it all really. The place is full of scumbags.

How Galway is on the list is baffling. Easily the most beautiful City in Ireland. Although I've not been to Waterford yet :P

+1. Been away from tralee for a few years, cant believe how much worse its got. The town centre is filthy and dead. Read in the paper that there are now approx 100 heroin addicts in the town, mainly due to the crime bosses from limerick moving down here to get out of the limelight, and bringing the heroin with them. Says it all really. At least the new ring road will allow people to avoid the dump of a town in a few years time.

Donegal sorry, so depressing their for me... put derry there as well.

Since we are bashing towns, why not grammar?
How did you manage to use the correct spelling and the wrong spelling for the same word in the same sentence?


Anyway I put down Longford. The only reason for that is that I hate driving through it. It looks boring and depressing.
Even Limerick has the shiny new tunnel.

Better still lets bash you for being another bloddy spelling nazi. Seeing how you seem to know everything , I expect we wont be seeing you on boards again asking any questions.


Who cares!

Knock FTW.

So... Our Lord chose that place?

Limerick is getting accused of all sorts of stuff now. Even wild expansionism.

This thread is awfully negative. I imagine a huge percentage of votes are cast in ignorance. Mind you, so many votes in Ireland are. Which makes the island verge on ****hole status. Oh, the circular logic is twisting my head here.

Wheres the option for finglas, coolock or ballymun? oh okay its in Ireland but still

Neither Coolock nor Ballymun are nearly as bad as they used to be. Far bigger ****holes out there.

Booterstown. Manky place with a god awful stench. Smells like Cowen and Harney fornicating in a river.

Where the feck is the option for Athlone?

Kingscourt :eek: Never again. Traveller ridden sh!thole!

Mmm, I live in a neighbouring town (well, a big village) and I notice if you don't go to the top of the hill in Kingscourt, you'll be grand, the knackers seem to stay in their place if you get me. Could've been worse, could've went to Bailieborough!

But yeah... Dublin.

I would like to ask the 17 people who voted 'Galway' are they taking their medication?

I'm from Co Limerick but have no hesitation in voting for Limerick City. Some nice areas but unfortunately the bad areas are all too prevalent, city centre is the ugliest in the country over-run with knackers. Any one who's ever walked out from the train/bus station will appreciate this.

I voted for Longford but I have to admit is has its uses

Anywhere large enough, like Dublin or Limerick, will have pleasant neighbourhoods to balance the horrible ones. However somewhere like Athlone even though it's not wall-to-wall skangers (and admittedly there are plenty of that species in Athlone) is just a wee bit dull. Back in the mid-90s as a student I had to spend few weekends in Athlone and I came to know the meaning of tedium. Even during the weekend I once had an unexpected afternoon off and found myself in the town wondering, after browsing Easons, what there was left to do now except to start drinking.

Have to say lads I lived in Dolphins Barn for a year and it is a total sh1thole .

The only good thing was i could phone hell and get local rates

Every part of Dublin is ruined by scum. At least in England the ruling classes seperated themselves from the rabble. Here our scumbag county councillors tried to "integrate" them. It failed.

The skanger accent is spreading too as scumbag tradesmen move into better areas with their Celtic tiger earnings. Unfortunately they brought their accents with them and their children emulate the ridiculous "Eminem gangsta" crap.

Given that it's the only place in Ireland that my wife was racially abused, I'd have to give it my vote.

Newbridge. I'm currently writing a thesis on the mistake that is Kildare in general. Monasterevin, Castledermot, Robertstown... whoever thought of these places is a sick, sick individual. Naas is the only one I find even remotely tolerable.

I can't imagine anyone with such strong ideas about social classification and tiered societies being "down" with the young folk.
