If you look at the "worst towns in Ireland" threads that pop up on boards, we always get mentioned, but never anywhere near top of the pile. Depends what you focus on I suppose, we have some disadvantaged areas and some proper little scummy fckers here. But compared to other towns and cities our size, very little violent crime and there isn't any area of town I'd be afraid to walk at night. Having said that, I do accept peoples concerns about the square and the gangs of youths congregating there, its a potential powderkeg if the authorities don't get a handle on it soon

The sob story worked wonders I'd say on the panel - I'd love to see some form of public vote even if it made up 10% of the winners - if she is representing us can we have a say?? and to end my tuppence - I'd like to see even a few months after the event a report or scoring cards or comment cards from the judges as to WHY she was chosen, if the cards were taken from the judges after choosing the winner and held in the rose office and a report compiled by an outsider. I just don't know the criteria of how the winner is chosen. P.S - She is very pretty though! PPS - Bring back Maria for a second year!
