    Carrick on suir is definately a dump. Clonmel isn't great either. However, all are nothing next to Buncrana way up in Donegal. Miserable place, miserable weather, terrible pub scene. Being there in a cold wet july for the town festival has to be one of the most depressing experiences of my life.

    Did you not notice that almost all of the crime that you posted was committed by people from outside of the town mainly Knackers and Dubs.

    And how does that make it any less of a hole?

    Oh and we spearheaded the shortlived (thank gawd) adoption of Line Dancing in Ireland with a 'RTE Nationwide' Special.

    Carnew, Co. Wexford

    I think you'll find its in Wicklow.

    Besides, its just 2 pubs, a shop and a few houses. Hardly qualifies as a settlement.

    Westport,I like Westport.............................

    i agree, its very nice, and dingle, thats lovely too. i get depressed whenever i spend time or pass through belturbet, kingscourt, duleek or clonmellon. clonmellon is just grey, its all grey, just one big grey st, like a fifties timewarp.

    on a different note, now i wouldnt call longford a ****hole, but all in all, it has to qualify for the most INSIGNIFICANT county in ireland. has it ever won an all ireland? any famous people form there? its hardly a touist hot spot. What does it bring to irish culture?

    Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipp gets my vote every time.

    This is what the locals thought of it in 1993

    Drove through it last Friday night and it does look as grim a place as when that video was made. As one of the kids in the video said,

    "The only reason people know about us is cos Sean Kelly comes from here."

    Very true. At least they have a leisure centre now.

    From the same drive I would also like to add Mooncoin, Co Kilkenny to the list.

    Others for inclusion, some may have been mentioned already, are Charleville Co Cork, Borris-in-Ossory Co Laois and Gort Co Galway.

    Basically anywhere that still displays proudly that it was the host town to some obscure former Soviet republic/African dictatorship for the Special Olympics on the main road in.

    There is no way in hell Tuam is as bad as some parts of Dublin or Limerick, and whoever is banging on about Castlebar has'nt a clue.

    Longford is crap, modified cars everywhere even new ones with body bits stuck all over them it makes the main street look so tatty.

    I like Longford, but did notice an unusual high number of modfied cars goint up and down the main street!
    Some of the places mentioned above are grand!
    Areas of dublin are ****holes. Neilstown in dublin gets my vote. Also finglas west and south is fairly ropey. Ditto with Darndale.

    Ballyporeen, Co. Tipperary (yeah, where Reagan comes from)
    spent most of my childhood growing up there anyone who from hates the place. its spent the last 30 years trading off the reagan thing
    and the graveyard where his relatives are buried is infested with badgers and all the bones are scattered all over the fields

    athlone the whole should be used be used as an artillery range and the civilians for target practice. the English leveled it once but you know what they say you cant kill a bad thing:(

    tuam is getting hard done its not that bad. not by a long way not compared to those places.

    Whats wrong with limerick?

    Gort should be in the top 5. And it was alot worse before the brazillians arrived. Tuam should be on the list too. Everyone in the town is called Ward.

    Don't know if it was mentioned yet, but I vote for tallaght. Its an awful place. Also on the list should be:
    Any of the red luas stops past heuston.
    Crumlin
    Darndale
    Cavan town (town? lol!)
    Ringsend

    Ridiculous statement! There are a significant traveller population, but most of them keep to themselves nowadays. Hugely artistic town compared to other towns it's size tbh

    I would say Castlebar, Celbridge, Maynooth, and most of all, Dublin.

    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.

    This man speaketh The Truth. Any time I pass through Carrick-on-Suir, I fully expect to die. The natives look like they're fond of the taste of human flesh. Sean Kelly probably took up cycling to escape the rape gangs.

    Mulhuddart in Dublin is another genuinely disturbing place. A good carpet-bombing there would cut national crime statistics by at least 20%.

    There are worse places than that.

    Rochfortbridge is the biggest sh**hole in the country as far as I can see. nothing but housing estates, the town itself if you can call it that is smaller than most villages.

    The worse thing about the place is how far it is from the local Tesco/Dunnes etc... or decent pub/nightclub and countless other facilities.

    I wouldn't live there if you paid me and I honestly mean that. Used to have to pass it on the bus back to college. Most depressing place I ever passed through. Thank Chr*st I don't have to drive through it now.
