Biggest Sh1thole In The Country?

J.S. Pill · 19-02-2009 1:41am

I feel really sorry for all the crew of RTE's Nationwide.

Imagine spending all your time going from one provincial sh*t-hole to another and having to listen to Mary Kennedy and whats-his-name Sh*te on about whatever provincial sh*thole they're in.

Bray is fine, there are pockets of sh!tholes like all towns/Villages, but that adds to the mix of people.

Theres actually a good sense of community in Bray, and the people are not pretentious. Its a lot better than some of the more affluent sh1thole areas in Dublin, where children cant even walk to school...and having money buys you a pardon from jail..

I lived in Clonsilla for a while and its a kip, but moved to Sandymount and it was great, so can't really pick Dublin.

Bray is infinitely worse.

Lads let's just face the fact that Ireland is 70% kip, 30% ok. There are parts of every province, county, city, town, and village that have their bad spots. Just like most places in the developed world. If you go to Australia, Canada, France, South Africa the locals will tell you how much of a kip places within that country are.

Basically we live in a country where the majority of it is a kip. I'm ok with that. I don't hate Ireland. There's way worse places to be born like Lesotho or Haiti. But it's still generally a kip.

Riamfada · 19-02-2009 1:53am

Yeah but the kipness ratio is shifting to a growing number of ****holes

I honestly believe that if you got 10 people in a room and told them to come up with a more depressing programme about absolutely nothing important they wouldnt even get close to nationwide. The last one i seen they spent 20minutes talking about some eejit in Kildare whose father made horseshoes thirty odd years ago:p

Sad thing is they're never going to run out of sh*t-holes to visit

'Dublin' is a faily large place to lump together. Various places in Dublin make the list though. I lived in Kimmage for a year and it's up there. It was £60 on the monopoly board for a reason.

Main Street, Bundoran in Donegal in mid July can be an unpleasant place.

Urlingford gets my vote though. It's just pointless in too many ways.

I can see there's plenty of Dublin posters here, 18 post and no one says Dublin?

Hate the fecking place.

Tom65 · 19-02-2009 2:39am

I never liked Sligo town. The county is lovely, but town is awful. I was never a fan of Offaly either.

There's plenty of places in Dublin - that'd need it's own thread.

rosslare, makes me wanna puke!

CARRICK ON SUIR, Co. TIPPERARY without a DOUBT!

I like to call it Carrick on Sewer, or just plain 'ol Carrick on Shite. Horrible town. No jobs. No decent shops. No book shop! No nothing.

Constant grey cloud looms over the place.

Rabid dogs wander the streets in search of babies dumped by their junkie mothers.

The schools are shyte, delapitated, rusting, for Playstation fans imagine the school in silent hill.

Yokes are like 1.50e in the town so everybody is always off their faces.

ireland is nowhere close to 70% kip or even 30% kip; where in ireland can you compare to the favelas in rio of which there are hundreds, there are some bad parts of this country no doubt but many many wonderful parts too

Some of the estates in Dundalk...

flanree · 19-02-2009 3:30am

yeah , dundalk has an air of depression. the industrial estates give it that 'just keep driving' charm.

ha-ya-said-what · 19-02-2009 3:32am

enniscorthy (you'd want a paddy wagon to feel comfortable driving through)
Moate (it's like ten sh**holes crammed into one town at weekends)
Athlone (oohh if you've been there you'll know why!!)
Ferbane (whats right there)
Maynooth (horrible to walk the paths, covered in broken glass, knickers & thongs, leave the rest to your imagination)
Longford (nothing but 13yr olds girls upwards offering lads 60+ sexual favours for 10 quid or 20 smokes or bottle of wkd)

Kilkenny I don't like find it very very boxy & overcrowded... same with ennis
I could go on!!!!

I really think, to define somewhere in Ireland that is truely not a sh**hole, would be alot harder

And no flying in a plane, helicopter or private jet in the sky over Ireland doesn't count!!!
