    I haven't been to Dublin Zoo in a long time, I really like it there. I want to see those pandas again.

    Not been up to Dunree fort for a long time, unsettling place but has an odd draw to it.

    Donegal. They put it up there in that top left hand corner, making it awkward to get to. I don't even drive, sir!

    About 25 counties.

    Live in Kerry, go to Cork frequently, little interest in the rest of the country. But do have to make the odd trip to Dublin so guess that's another 5 or so.

    I haven't been to Donegal in about four years. Almost two years since I was in Belfast.

    Might change that soon.

    Haven't been to Belfast for about 20 years.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    That's a shame, it's improved quite a bit since then. :pac:

    Lovely spot though.

    Kerry. Have looked at it, across the Shannon from Clare, but always seem to be waiting for someone to give me a lift back to Dublin.

    Anywhere outside Dublin. I want to go to that Island where Star Wars was filmed in the summer so I'll have to break my Dublin streak.

    I haven't been anywhere that's not my house or my job for what seems like an eternity. Actually I tell a lie, I've been in my car travelling between the two also:mad:

    Kildare, Athy specifically.

    Used to go there regularly to visit a friend and her family but she turned traitor and moved to England so I haven't been down there since.

    The counties in the North West. Haven't ever been there, so that's a long time.

    Would you believe I've never been to Northern Ireland. Ever.

    I grew up in the 80s, so NI was just not a holiday destination for any sane person from the republic.

    And after that, just never had a reason. Drove through it a couple of times on the way to Donegal, but have just never gotten around to visiting.
