    Quality hookers? :eek: I think you must be misinformed. If there are indeed any hookers in Irish cities I'd guess they're not exactly quality. No high class escorts here I'm afraid!

    We will beg to differ on that one so. They might not radiate quality from the outside, but from within .

    to be fair, the infrastructure of a city is no better than the country. with the amount of one-way lanes and narrow pokey windy streets, it takes ages to get anywhere

    Hundreds of thousands of culchies who managed to find jobs.
    Mainly in the "city centre" as per the signposts, not "town".

    And who are not quite sure what the "corpo" is since its been Dublin City Council since 2002!
