A list of irish cities?????

Lifford
Sligo
Monaghan
Castlebar
Drogheda
Dublin
Galway
Tullamore
Wicklow
Arklow
Shannon
Limerick
Foynes
New Ross
Waterford
Killarney
Cork

I though the definition for a city is a certain population level and also a cathedral?
Maybe im wrong or its changed over the years...

So what exact criteria are required these days for a town/village to be classed as a
city?

Some of these figures are surely either made up, or are completely out of date.

A town has to have a charter to be a city. That's why Kilkenny is a city and Tallaght is not although Tallaght has more inhabitants.

That site is a load of rubbish.

I don't need a website to tell me we live in one of the shíttest countries in the world...

Rip off
Bitchy women
Cold
No jobs
No facilities
etc etc etc!

(I'm having a bad day)

Kilkenny isn't a city no more, they downgraded it there a while back. Absolute disgrace so it is, it being a former capital and everything.

Did anyone notice the top 10 list of mobile phone users? Finland is top with 67.8%, and Ireland isn't anywhere on list. As far as I know Ireland is 75% in this, and should have been top

SheroN · 28-01-2004 01:26PM

That site is on the internet it's whole contents must be true.

definitely, that mobile phone statistic seems totally wrong, tbh i wasnt expecting much from a badly designed site that greets u with a big ad for 4000 free smileys.....

kilkenny is still a city... they did not down grade it.

SheroN · 28-01-2004 03:30PM

yes you're correct, there were attempts to downgrade it though. I was just testing ye all. Well done lazygit you did good.

Lump · 28-01-2004 04:02PM

Yea, didnt people complain and stuff.... I'm from there and I remeber there beena large uproar. I would have been pissed off it was down graded.
