Most unfriendly county? **Mod warning 18/01/2025**

I will say this - I spent more than a year backpacking. Along the way I'd meet various punters from all over the world, and the odd Irish person, every couple of days. As a general rule, of the Irish people I met, the Dubs were by far the friendliest. Cant pick out the least friendly, but definitely the Dubs were the friendliest (and I'm not from Dublin).

Sound like a right unfriendly lot so

Id think loyalist towns are highly unfriendly to anyone from the South or the modern world generally - had the misfortune of spending time in Larne & Antrim Town on a couple of occassions, toxic to anyone from the South.

Spent time in Newry & Derry, the opposite very friendly.

Meath people can be a little strange whereas Kerry people are on the whole friendly except for a couple of parts of Tralee.

Not very scientific I suppose.

it's not the answer the OP wants, but obviously, there are friendly and unfriendly people in every county. Can't say I've encountered a blanket unfriendliness in a particular county.

Strange how?

By the time this pointless thread is finished, every county will have got a mention based on 1-2 individual experience.

"The waitress in County <here> was so rude, so the whole county is rude...."

That's island folk for you. Hardly representative of people on the mainland, you should know that.
