    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
