    i have been to parts of africa :) i have never seen a street in this country with an open sewer in a residental area, the smell so bad you have to cover your mouth, the water running down onto the beach, the beach itself covered with so much rubbish, stuff left there for years

    and btw you are still wrong, this country is nowhere near 70% kip, get out and explore it, achill island, connemara, inishowen, north antrim, west cork, clare, sligo, west donegal.
    I myself have been all over South Africa, before the boom times. I have also been all over this country, in every county numerous times, north and south of the border including islands, from the most remote of hills around Cul Aodha, to hidden beaches in Inis Boffin, to Miltown Malbay during Willie Clancy Week, to the middle of Grafton St on a Suturday afternoon so I don't need to get out and explore it, thanks!
    ...
    What did I find along my travels... People's selfish actions ruining things for everyone else... A dumped washing machine spoling that beautiful view, a session being ruined by some drunken idiot, take away papers strewen around an otherwise picturesque village, a pea head tearing it up in his Toyota Glanza on the Conor Pass... You get this in every inhabited place in the country, unfortunately.
    There would be no kips in Ireland if there were no people to make them.
    Lets just agree to disagree so. I believe that we live in a bit of a kip.

    ... Actually, what is your point here? What you have described goes so far beyond being a "kip" that it comes back around and bites itself in the ass!

    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!!!!

    how do i find this "longford" you speak of?

    Can we say all of Dublin? :pac:
    If you have seen all of Dublin and feel that it is a kip I'd have no problem with it.... Just don't tell me I, and all those that I care about, talk like we've escaped from a "slow learners camp" ;)

    People are comparing "kips" in ireland to 3rd world countries, there's a massive difference!
    And the dublin divide is east/west not north south. But you still get people from Clontarf and Howth in €1m or €2m houses saying they're "real dublin" and the south siders are "posh"!

    You probably can't get spudballs in Lagos. You can in Carrick on suir.
    Actually, can someone tell me what they are? Don't make me drive down to Carrick

    I don't know what they are but I'd bet, just going by the name, that you'd need a serious amount of diet coke to wash them away from sticking in your gullet.

    We need Ponster to log back on to tell us. Hopefully it's fast, the suspense is killing me. If he's any good, he can sort out a photo:)

    Lisnaskea, Keady, Portadown, Dungannon. These are all places which make me slightly uneasy. Clones is not great fun either. Bundoran might be the worst. But you've so many to choose from in the other 3 provinces. I'll say the worst is Tuam. No Granard. Maybe Thurles or Clonmel. Possibly Bray. Gorey? Definitely Tullamore. And Tralee. Clarinbridge is no great shakes though. So many sh1tholes etc.

    Could be argued that they are all 'great', excepting P'down of course. Dependent on experiences and maybe prejudices. It's pretty subjective I think.

    Granard, Co. Longford. It is like some type of rural ghetto. Utter kip.
    People are comparing "kips" in ireland to 3rd world countries, there's a massive difference!

    You OBVIOUSLY have never been to Granard. Alright, so most of the 3rd world is more tropical.....think wartime Chechnya or Bosnia instead :)

    Someone mentioned Mulhuddart, ffs its not even the worst part of Blanch.
    And Virginia Co. Cavan? It is quite a nice town tbh (plenty of fights mind, but nice enough looking)

    It isnt filthy or knackery, but Galway is plain depressing.

    Ballyfermot/ most of the area around Liffey Valley is the worst part of Dublin IMO.

    Carrick on Suir sounds like some spot :pac:

    i said it before and i'll say it again.......the biggest S'hole in ireland is not a town but a collection of towns........the morbid midlands

    no mountains, no scenery just a series of dreary towns inhabited by dreary people......i say nuke the place and put them out of there misery.

    a come on now you'll need to frame you're ideas a bit better!

    Every town in Letrim? Carrick has to be one of the nicest places ive been anyway.

    How many places have you been to?Fair enough Carrick isn't the worst but still isn't great.There is no beauty about it,apartments built along the river,nice view and all if you live in the apartments but if your on a boat it's not the most pleasant thing to see.

    There are a lot of towns in Ireland that are complete and utter dumps. My top 5 would be:

    Longford
    Tipperary Town
    Tuam
    Athy
    Bundoran

    When I think of any of these places, I get depressd.:(

    If we're going to include the North, then I'd have to add Ballymena and Portadown to that list.

    These two towns are soul destroying and horribly bigoted dumps.

    Bundoran is an example of everything that is wrong with a seaside "resort."

    Oi K-9 NOOOO!!!

    We actually developed a game where we bet on how MORE shabby a famous fast food resturant on the outskirts of town got with each visit.

    Lets just say each time it hit a new low.
