    I don't think I've ever been in Roscommon. Is it worth a special trip?

    No, but I reserve the right to deny the existence of Carlow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,025 ✭✭✭problemchimp


    no


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    Roscommon, Leitrim! Think that's it, some I've just passed thru, no point in stopping


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,692 ✭✭✭✭OPENROAD


    Does just passing through a county count as being in it or must you have spent time in it ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,704 ✭✭✭squod


    No

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,078 ✭✭✭questionmark?


    Lietrim cant see the point to be honest. That is if it is a real place.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 620 ✭✭✭Laika1986


    West Meath, every county name is unique but them. Can't really be much craic if didnt change their name after the great battle of Newgrange in 1969.

    i think westmeath was a province at one stage. like a 5th province


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,376 ✭✭✭✭rossie1977


    wexford and armagh, well at least i don't think i have ever been in armagh

    roscommon is a county nearly everyone should have at least passed through on the way from dublin to galway/sligo/mayo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    Kerry, they dont have a League of Ireland team and I dont have to go through it to get to a LOI ground so have never been there.

    Mite make it down next time Im in Cork or Limerick just to say that have been everywhere.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭Karona

    Did you fly into Mayo or go by boat?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,787 ✭✭✭g5fd6ow0hseima


    I've never been in Derry or Wexford.

    I've only passed through Monaghan, Armagh, Louth, Kilkenny and Tyrone


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 424 ✭✭FinnLizzy


    I think I've been to every county, but wouldn't remember them all.
    As a Sligo man, I'm very familiar with Leitrim. A lot of people, from Dublin mainly, seem to have this image of Leitrim as a backward culchie hole. But from my experience, its full of German and English hippies on the prowl for cheap land. Its one of the most Liberal places I've been and I've been stoned so many times on my visits.
    It's basically the Germany of Ireland.

    I should have set up a poll ...doh

    I wonder how long it would take to visit all counties in one go? 24hrs I reckon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    Derry, Armagh and Fermanagh are the only counties I've never set foot in

    Never been to Cork, Kerry, Limerick or Clare.
    I blame Iarnród Éireann's ridiculously high train fares for this.

    Oh- never been to Laois either.
    Or Carlow, Cavan or Fermanagh.. or Sligo or Monaghan.
