doesn't count, it is a british city

No it's not.
Not Geographical, not legally, not ethnically, not in anyway.

Its a city in the United Kingdom of Great Britian and Northern Ireland.

The full name of the United Kingdom makes a clear differentiation between Britian and Northern Ireland.

Seaneh

and to answer the OP.

In Eire.

Dublin.

CatFromHue

other than some places in the north there is no city/town in the republic like a town/city in the uk.

the difference between an irish city compared to an english city is huge

British means knife crime so I voted Limerick

Has to be Dublin, lots of west Brits there. What we need is a Gaelic revolution that sweeps away all this impurity.

OP has only named 4 out of the 5 cities in Ireland.

...But that's ok, Waterford isn't anything like the U.K either.

Riamfada

Dublin ****e ... everywhere else good. Same thread gets posted every few days and its boring.

Dublin envy to be honest, piss off back down the bog.

God save the King

Mr Benevolent

'British in attitude'? Don't be so fucking idiotic. Might as well ask which city is most Norwegian in attitude. OP, you're either a troll or an Irish Sun journalist.

Ahem! If Belfast is in Ireland, which it obviously is, then equally obviously Beal Feirste is in Eire. Ireland is quite simply the English word for Eire. Only in British media does 26 of the 32 counties constitute "Eire".

Why is it only English people who refer to Ireland as 'Eire'? Ok, they named it, but does anyone find it ironic that our country is actually called 'Anger Land'?

Question to the insecure country folk:
What does 'west-brit' mean?
Considering Britain is so large and varied culturally.

Insecure country folk? Strange logic, its not the ' country folk ' that get their culture from foreign countrys.

Cork has an English market, so Cork.

Eire is the legal name for the Irish Republic.

'countries'
What culture? You are not making any sense, do you realize this?
If you are going to accuse Dublin of 'getting their culture' from another country then you have to:

1. specify what culture specifically you are refering to (Britain is large and varied).

2. Understand that all cultures shift and mix with each other over time.

If Dublin apparently has lots of West Brits, does that mean that Cork has lots of South Brits?, and by such expert definition applyed by those who like to use the term , shouldn't Dublin be full of East Brits? :pac::pac:

Well, one of them. Eire and Ireland are given equal status in the constitution.

Can you please start slapping perma bans on people who start non-topic threads with a poll attatched.

This forum is slip-sliding into total irrelevance (and yes I know its After Hours, but even this place needs to have some ambition).

'Ireland' is the legal name for this State, or 'Éire' in Irish.

The Irish Republic ceased to exist in 1922, though the BBC insist in calling us that. Southern Ireland was another short-lived British State, yet they still call us that. Then you have 'Eire' (without the fada), which is the most popular. They don't call Spain 'Espana', so I don't know they can't just call Ireland 'Ireland'.

Where are you saying this when some idiot starts an anti-Irish thread? You just dont like discussion when it doesn't suit your POV

mike65

At least that can be the start of a good argument (btw when did anyone start an Anti-Irish thread on AH they are Anti-British as a rule) "Which Irish city is most like a British City" is just pointless. It doesn't even include all the city options.

Alison O'Riordain. Would you?
Why do black people always say mother****a ????
Obama is not black!
Why do people in Cork city call people outside the city boggers ?
Is it worth going out?
After hours question
etc.

Cork. We have a Lord Mayor, as does Dublin and Belfast. This is a particular honour bestowed by the crown for loyalty.

After Hours - the Daily Mail of Boards. Sounds about right, someone needs to start two threads - one about how X can cause cancer, the other on how X can cure cancer.
