    I was in kiliney last week for the first time, it's very nice but I expected more, suspect dalkey is a step above.

    Malahide is statistically the wealthiest place in the country in terms of average residents income.

    Kinvarra is highest in the west, that sort of surprises me as its a considerable distance from Galway city, thought it would be barna or salthill, gort is as close to the city as Kinvarra

    Kinvara has a lot of money that's for sure, there's a lot of old money and it's a magnet for English and wealthy European retiree's....

    Clifden qualfies,, The second snobbiest Supervalu after Dingle... Never went back in after seeing the live lobsters in a tank.... almost called PETA.

    BUT a lot of lovely small shops etc and the spires of the two churches aloft .. elegant and clearly prosperous,

    Blackrock, Donneybrook, Ballsbridge and Kiliney.

    Is there a single social housing unit among them?

    I'd like to back you up on the Dingle claim but I was far too drunk from the moment I set foot there to notice anything. It's 90% pub by volume.

    Tipperary Town. Some amount of wealth around that way. Full of TOWIE type snobs.

    I judge the wealth of an area on the bistro count. The poorer the place, the more neglected and boarded up store fronts. The wealthier the place, the greater the number of bistros and cafe's. Bonus wealth points for pavement seating, and more if flowering planters and awnings are in place.

    I think there a few 'burbs on the Southside of Dublin that would give Malahide a run for it's money, but they're not towns so they don't count.

    Delgany is quite posh. Used to be full of Protestants. Now it's full of middle-class mummies and daddies whose kids all have very Irish names and very American accents.

    Newtownmountkennedy... isn't.

    The nicest places are those that many of us have never heard of or seen. Think about it.

    Like brigadoon? Ooh! Do the wealthy have secret filters that make rich places invisible to the poor?
