I'm from Raphoe, County Donegal.

It is considered by some to be the smallest cathedral city(ecclesiastical) in Europe.

It is the first place in the republic to host a march by the royal black preceptory (Extreme orangemen)

It was originally going to be part of northern ireland according to a draft of the boundary commision due to the amount of protestants.

It's also an anagram of rape ho. Sounds like my type of place.

Arklow has the official worst named nightclub in Western Europe: The Funky Box.

There are almost 30 empty shops in the Mainstreet.

We are the only town of this size in Ireland that is not linked to a sewerage treatment plant.

There has never been a TD from the town in the history of the state.
