Ah so the Slieverue and Ferrybank lads can descend on Tramore afterall.
You want a city / large urban centre near by so that only leaves Limerick, Cork, Dublin, Derry, Antrim and Waterford.
Am I right in saying that Leix is the only county that doesn’t border a county that touches the sea ??
They’ve never seen the ocean.
If we can stay within 20kms of my house, I’m happy enough here. Would still reach Waterford airport and city, so sorted.
But if I cant vote for my home county, I’d say Cork. But only on the condition that I wouldnt have to interact with the people there.
Worst place, somewhere inland. They all merge as one. I’ll say Offaly, as at least Portlaoise has a bit more about it than Tullamore.
Cork and galway the only two real options here, maybe kerry if you prioritize the great outdoors. You’re settling for the truly mediocre otherwise.
Best: Cork
Worst: Carlow
Best: Cork
Worst: Galway
The west is grim enough in the winter. The wind walking over the Quincentenary will live with me forever
There’s no such thing as bad weather only bad clothing
Also Quincentennial
Worst: while it’s easy to say feature less bland midlands dumps like Longford or Tipperary at least they are safe and quiet. You really don’t want to spend a year near the poverty stricken depravity at least one of munster small cities are renowned worldwide for
Would have called it that myself but have seen it written as Quincentenary before
There’s no such thing as bad weather. Only weak men.
Nearly every county on the coast has something to offer… If they folded over the map of Ireland til louth met Leitrim and wicklow met limerick I think all those counties in between wouldn’t be missed. Do wonders for the live register too…
I’ve never been to Donegal but it’s meant to be the most scenic county of all
I was keeping donegal… Lovely and wild… Exactly what you want… So big and remote and not invaded by tourists…
Best: Donegal/Sligo
Worst: Roscommon/Cavan
The did the Atlantic route from Sligo to Portrush there few years back and it’s the best I’ve seen on this island.
Best: Antrim
Worst: Tyrone/Armagh
It’s only a 10-20 minute drive to get from Derry City into Donegal.
Sligo is a fabulous county . Granted the town is a bit rough .
