Quiet day today so let's have everyones opinions, just thinking the other day myself about this and it has to be one of the one close to Dublin, the only thing it has going for some of them are they are close to Dublin, very little character or anything of note. I will choose Meath, Fairyhouse is the only thing thats in the county the gaelic team hardly play there they also want to play in Dublin. Meath people also just loud but not funny i.e. Hector

It's a close thing between Meath and Tipp but Tipperary(Nap) get it not for the county itself cos i like the rock of cashel and err...err.. but the people...Oooh what rogues they are there. Supporting Lowry and them known the S.P...Meath hast the Hill Of Tara, and the rock concerts in Slane...so they ok on that score.
Report Rocketfingers March 30, 2011 2:15 PM BST
Anna would agree but i think Tipp has some character, would put Laois and Offaly in that order behind Meath.

So far Meath has 3 votes for worst county in Ireland.

Meath has gone downhill over the last few years.......we did take in a fair few dodgy lodgers to be fair.
The anonymous counties will escape a vote in this pole.

Gant if anything it's got a bit more of a cosmopolitan feel to it since some Dubs have moved out to it.

Similar to hatama above, I don't think Longford is real. I have yet to meet a person from there, nor even seen a Longford registered car. Longford Town in the Eircom League must be from somewhere else too.
And them Flancare trucks - I've seen them heading everywhere bar in the direction Longford is supposed to be!

You also need to read my response to the "Ascot" thread you thick.
Where in it did I say I was at "Royal" Ascot!?
I was at a King George however, and you would be careful not to accuse me of lying. You my dear child have no idea of me or anything about my life apart from being a Bohs fan. .

There are only 5/6 decent cities towns in Ireland.

Dublin - Bit of a kip yes, the thing is you have options to go and do things, racing, shopping, sports, nightlife, a decent city.

Limerick - I am from here and in truth it is going downhill. Great nightlife on rugby nights, these are becoming slacker!!! Will be back when the opera centre opens and the people stop going to retail parks to do their shopping. If the town planners all 57 of them!! got their brains in operation they would get free parking, more pedestrian streets and if the guards did their job and arrested people who are walking around the town high we may have a cleaner city which is a more viable city to visit. Good sports, horse racing, greyhound racing, GAA, competitive in both Hurling, lots of potential coming through and Football, adequate. Limerick are going back to the Markets Field which will make them a big club in terms of LOI again. As a city we are on the down but will be back.

Galway - Top drawer, nightlife is brill, town is clean, lovely city. Small enough place. Would stay away come the racing, too many tools acting the fool.

Cork - Always liked it, Sport is good, shopping good, nights out top notch. Bit rundown in places but an all in all nice city.

To answer the question, the whole of the midlands, rotten places, the likes of Offaly, Loais, Westmeath, Meath absolutely zero there, someone said it, towns full of dingy pubs. Throw Shannon in there as a town, a kip.
