    There is probably a well established scientific research paper published behind this, but sure its Wednesday.
    I was talking to a Sligo man and he reckoned the Yeats people are the smallest, that why they are a soccer county, not the garrison at all, true or not here is the question.



    I reckon its Mayo, Kammy was impressed.

    No idea, and even if someone were willing to waste the money to find out, I'd imagine the height differences would be negligible. Most areas I've been to have the same demographics: mostly 5'7 to 5'9, good few at 6'0, some 6'2, and the occasional cloud-kisser to round things off.

    Suppose there'd be a few short-arses also, but we won't mention the genetically inferior.

    Just anecdotally I would say north county Dublin (not the city), the richer parts of the southside of Dublin and Cork county.

    I've a cousin from Dublin who is tall and a cousin from waterford who is short so Dublin has the tallest obviously.

    I think you're bang on the money. Before the minimum height for coppers thing was tinkered around with, mayo lads were punching well above their weight in the force for their relevantly small slice of the overall population of the country.

    I'd say it's the county that has the tallest average height parents.

    Dun na nGall; Fort of the Foreigner, na nGall referred to here are the Vikings.

    Antrim. 'Cos that's where Giants Causeway is, obviously. Case Closed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 564 ✭✭✭ChunkyLover54
