    All of em :D
    As a child my parents used to bring us camping different province every year
    Leitrim has some beautiful scenery by the way ;)

    If you haven't been to Clare on the west cost there are the Cliffs of Moher which are worth a visit despite the cost, the view on a good day is fab, we also have the Burren which is unique in Ireland with flora found no where else in the world and Ailwee Caves
    Lisdoonvarna in September, miltown malbay in July :)

    Then there is Bunratty castle & folk park, Cragganowen in the centre of the county
    To the east there is Killaloe and several lakes on the Shannon
    Mountshannon is also beautiful

    Oh and Ennis is one of the best towns for boutiques in the west of Ireland

    Hmm, good question:

    Dublin, Kildare, Wicklow, Meath, Louth, Wexford, Kilkenny, Tipperary
    Monaghan, Cavan, Antrim, Down
    Sligo, Mayo, Roscommon
    Kerry, Cork, Limerick, Waterford, Clare

    That doesn't include those that I have passed through, If I were to include those, it would probably be almost everywhere except Donegal, Derry, Tyrone and Fermanagh

    Shh stop praising Leitrim! It's a deadly spot, great night life, beautiful castles, coast and scenery. Too many people visiting it will get in my way!

    Badly worded :D

    I mean I've never seen any of it or gotten out of the car, just passed through. Saw the Bulmers factory the other day!

    Definitely
    Kilkenny, Tipperary, Carlow, Waterford, Wexford, Laois, Kildare, Dublin, Galway, Cork

    Possibly
    Clare, Limerick, Offaly, Wicklow

    So almost every county in the bottom-half of the country; none in the top-half :p

    The only ones I have not been to are a few in Ulster, Derry and Antrim.

    Been to every other county. So 30 in total.

    Being a member of a sports club is a great way to get to travel the country.

    Poor Laois and Leitrim they seem to get forgotten very easily.

    (actually I liked them both, and preferred Laois to one of our most hailed touristy counties in the south)

    Laois is always the county I forget when I'm trying to name them all!

    Sure I go to Electric Picnic every year and have friends down there and everything. Should really remember that one :P

    Limerick, Clare, Tipperary, Cork, Kerry, Waterford
    Galway, Mayo, Roscommon
    Dublin, Louth, Meath, Kildare, Carlow, Wicklow, Laois, Westmeath, Offaly, Kilkenny, Longford and finally last weekend Wexford to finish off the province.
    Finally Ulster Antrim, Down, Armagh

    24 down 8 to go.
    Best so far for me was Mayo

    Worst is midlands looking at you Laois and Offaly (my dislike of those counties may or may not be due to memories of being in the backseat of a car from Limerick to Dublin back in the mid 90's. We did however always stop in Kildare town for food so I like Kildare:D)

    I've been to all of Munster, then Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Louth, Meath, Dublin, Wicklow, Kildare, Offaly, Westmeath, Donegal, Derry, antrim, and Down.

    So 20. Thought it was more. I'm missing most of Ulster.

    Derry, Antrim, Tyrone, Down, Armagh, Donegal, Monaghan, Cavan, Louth, Dublin, Meath (just drove through meath)
    Have never set foot in Munster or Connacht.

    Have set foot in about 7 English counties and 10 Irish which tells me I need to see more of Ireland.
