    tbh any town thats more than 15-20 miles from the coast is probably a dull, depressing oul kip

    Urlingford Co. Kilkenny is an absolute hole of a town

    Ah here, petrol in Urlingford averages about 7c a litre cheaper than the motorway services 20 miles down the road at the Cashel exit. The saving grace for Urlingford.

    Portlaoise is one that stands out to me, all praise the by pass

    Kilbeggan, co Westmeath . I go through it a lot and it annoys me how a town that has so much going for it ( main Dublin to Galway road/bus route , busy horse racing course outside it, large tourist attraction in Killbeggan Distillary etc) is such a rundown place. I think they only got their first ATM last year.

    My auld lad lives there it still has no ATM or bank. Last time i went there the council couldnt have been even bothered to paint the lines on the road.

    Rosslare jumps to mind too absolutely nothing there expect the ferry port.

    Moneygall, Co Offaly is just an evil creation. They've a petrol station with a newsagent and fast food joint attached to it which is called Barack Obama Plaza, it has its own radio ad and all. I sh*t you not. And there's more red, white and blue flags vs Irish tricolours than I've seen North of the border anywhere. Hell on earth.

    Ballinasloe is a long town of misery. Toothless idiots huddled in pub doors smoking cigarettes; overweight teenage mothers shoving buggies around, and the association the town has with its mental hospital. "He's down in Ballinasloe as he's suffering with his nerves".

    What would you like to do with the psychiatric hospital?

    Mullingar, I always found it the most depressing place, always dreaded having to go there and for nothing more than the whole atmosphere of the place. Being from Meath, not too far from the Westmeath border, we always had to go there for one thing or another, if I could help it I would always opt to stay home. I'm not sure what it is specifically about it, it's just an ugly, scummy place. I'll just assume no one on boards is from there >_>

    God I hate the place. Hills and hills and more hills, and a bit or a rough crowd around the place. I'll admit that down by the sea it's nice but anywhere away from that is just horrible imo.

    Carrigadrohid in Cork is worse than depressing. It's only a tiny village but Jesus, it's like hell on earth. Population of about 30, a Fianna Fáil stronghold, mad for Gaelic football with their local club Canovee (not a bad thing in itself, but they're a cliquey club even by GAA standards), and it constantly smells like cow shít.

    Just look at it on google maps, it is horrible.

    It's clear to me, having scanned this thread, that not one of you has been through or in the 7th ring of hell that is mountmellick.
    I heard after the Peru special olympics team stayed there that they donated a dentist to them.

    Longford is the most abysmal dreary ****hole I've ever had the misfortune of being in.

    Others in the same category are Manorhamilton, Buncrana and knock.

    Lived in Manorhamilton for 2 years. I hated it. I doubt anywhere could come close to being as depressing as it.

    Have some friends there, but I hated the place that much I won't even go there to visit them.

    Also agree about Knock. Horrible depressing town, and it's always cold and raining there.


    Was in Buncrana once and found it ok. Don't find Longford too bad either
