I think the Dublin one must be skewed by the various Dublins in the US, and they’re what the question refers to, right? I love the Leitrim one though :-)
Yeah, “Longford is a dump” must be about one of those other Longfords too…
*looks around sheepishly*
They mean Longford, Tasmania.
A place dismally devoid of a by-pass or a country & western scene.
It’s truly to our credit that there’s a bypass…
A fine bypass it is too
Yeah, I always used to confuse Dion Dublin, who played for Aston Villa, with our nation’s capital

Kildate, Mr Chompsky.. but why ?
Westmeath is king. Damn right!
A county so boring it couldn’t think of it’s own name.
or “its”
Displaying your ignorance there pedeyw. One of the few decent things Henry VIII did was create Westmeath. At the time it was all part of Meath but the residents wouldn’t obey the king’s laws or pay their taxes so he divided it up into Meath and Westmeath (with scraps going to Offaly and Longford) appointed new officials to the new county and deemed that it shoud be named Westmeath to remind the residents that they were once part of Meath but wouldn’t do what they were told.
It’s not laziness, it’s a badge of honour.
One does not simply walk into Monaghan (no suggestion offered)….
Monaghan Lumber appears for me.
Located in Cavan Monaghan, Canada….
Meath does feel like a little bit of Northern Ireland in the Republic.
I’m guessing the ‘Westmeath is King’ entry is missing of ‘the tinkers’?
I tried a few of these myself, some didn’t come up at all and for others I could see that they skipped over some suggestions which came higher up the list such as:
Galway is the graveyard of ambition
Donegal is in Northern Ireland
Kerry is male or female
I think their is a difference in results depending on if you are logged in or not and when/where the search is conducted. So it would be common for results to vary.
Something is either unique or it isn’t. It cannot be “not very unique”. There cannot be levels of a thing if there is only one of it.
I’ll remember this in future, but go easy on me, t’was late-ish in the evening :P
Give Limerick back its coastline next time please, Omar. Its only the Estuary but it’s all we got. Someone on here once said ‘beware of anyone from a county without a coastline’ so I’m clinging to the Estuary thing, as they may have had a point.
Apologies, I’ll try get better data, this was a free set so not amazing.
Only due to this statement have I just learned that Leitrim has a coastline. Well strike me down.
Thanks from me too, I thought that image looked wrong but didn’t know why :)
Ah Longford, even the crows pack a sandwich for when they fly over.
Are those Cavan crows?
