Generally I like everyplace I go. If I had to pick a place I might say Cork. For a city that was in the lonely planet top 10 cities a year or two ago it was a bit unremarkable. That said I've enjoyed any time I've spent down there, it just hasn't blown me away.

there were neither horses, nor jockeys.

Anyone say Cork yet...just get it out of the way early

How Soon Is Now

Uhhhhhh.

Not "over rated" per se, but as I had never been there before, I was stuck by how much of a kip it was on my first visit.
The rundown buildings, bust roads and paths, tacky blinged up SUVs and the crap parking systems but mainly due to the hack of the people. Overweight and Impoverished chav meets traveller chic.

Newbridge, I'm looking at you.

Kerry is superior to Galway. Cork City is superior to Dublin. In my opinion.

Dublin without doubt, no idea why people want to live there. Cork and Galway are so so much better places to live.

Not many attacks here ..or shootings...and lads .. I LIKE YOU.

Blasphemy. Without the hallowed Horse and Jockey no one would ever be able to find Thurles! Actually thinking about it, I'm not sure thats such a good point for the old HnJ.

County : wexford
Its not the sunny south east, its the place where jackeens go to booze up on a warm day.

City : Dublin
Let's face it, it's a dirty kip of low rise generic tract housing surrounding a muddled, hard to traverse over priced city centre

Town :
Kilkenny, cos it's not a city and it has feck all to it.

Always thought Westport is over rated and very expensive.

Also Achill Island has turned into a dump.

munchkin_utd

I dont get why people say Dublin city is overrated.
Anyone I know thinks its a kip, an expensive one at that, so its rated fairly accurately if you ask me.
Yea, some Dubs think its the best place on the planet, but they obviously havent seen much outside Dublin to think like that.

The only place I was ever really disappointed at when I finally got there, that people rave about inexplicably, is Kinsale.
I was expecting some class of medieval streetscape with a bit of substance whereas its barely a village, barely a port, its just shag all except hype - and a massive traffic jam.
Theres more substance and charm to Clones, which really says a lot about how crap Kinsale is.

Galway all day long. Just back from a few days there. Nice place but unless you are on the tear it's boring enough. There is very little to do there really. Mad expensive for hotels and the traffic sucks as well for such a small city. Will never understand the attraction of it.

Was in both recently. I like Westport but it's quiet. Achill I drove through really. Nice scenery but that's about all.

It's got stuff going for it alright. The centre has a nice atmosphere for most of the day. The accent is amusing. The hilltop views and walks out by Blackrock and the disused railway are really nice.

Some locals there have a hyperinflated opinion of it though that serves only to betray a horrendous lack of familiarity with the rest of this island to any fools such as myself caught conversing with them.

you're a charlatan

I bet your experience of Dublin starts and ends with O Connell Street

Dublin is a city of wonderful parks and villages.

Says it all really that you think Kinsale is disappointing. It's a beautiful place. With some of best seaside bars and eateries in Ireland.

Maybe you're just uncouth.

Fair call on Kinsale.

I went back a few times to check it wasn't a funny mood on my part.

It is completely underwhelming in respect to the chatter about it.

Bulman in Kinsale is one of the best pubs in Ireland.

Donnybrook - meh. Some of the houses are nice to look at, I'll give you that, but otherwise - meh!

Kinsale would be grand if it wasn't too close to the city. Makes it too accessible and it ends up being choked with scumbags and snobby wánkers on any nice weekend in summer.

It's a grand gateway to West Cork though.

Galway, fo sho. I have never been able to understand the hype.

Dublin isn't overrated, a lot of people dislike it.

Because it's full of ****ty houses and ****ty hotels, no proper accommodation. Remember trying to watch a ManUtd game and no pub had sky sports apart from a few dodgy boxes which didn't work.

Houses everywhere, no planning laws obviously in place. It's a lovely spot, keem beach, keel etc I'd love to knock the whole place and re do it.
