Hell On Earth...

[Peadar]

Let's imagine your company tells you that you are to be relocated in Ireland and it turns out to be your worst nightmare.
You're asked to move to a place which to you is "Hell on earth."
For most of us, places like Navan or Limerick or anywhere in County's Louth and Offaly spring to mind.
I have to say that I refused to move to Leitrim a few years back but that was because the work didn't appeal to me.
I'd hate to have to live somewhere remote like Roscommon.
No decent football for miles
Wexford and Carlow are a couple more I'd say no to.
I suppose if I'm honest I'd have to say Sligo and Westmeath too.
Anyone else have a place in Ireland they'd hate to live?

[Ruairi]

dublin. always hated the place.
i'd love to live in derry

[Peadar]

They wouldn't understand a word you'd be saying boy

[sylvo]

Ballinamalard or Kesh, county Fermanagh . In the word's of Morrissey ''Every day is like sunday, every day is silent and grey''.

I'd just have to throw a "hi" at the end of every sentance hi.

[Pauro 76]

Dundalk, or any Dublin suburb that ends in Bally...

[liam88]

"Up the Shankill" (Belfast obv.), Sandy Row etc.
Love Cobh-ma town, and Tipperary town where half ma family are from equally.
Love Cork City and Kerry. Muster lad

[liam88]

I'd love it wherever I lived in Ireland except the couple of places in the North mentioend above. I love our country
Erin Go Bragh!

Dublin. I've spent a few weeks there over the summer a few times years ago and I really just don't like the place. I really enjoyed living in Limerick and I'd love to live in Galway for abit at some stage, but Cork is great

[Peadar]

Dublin.
...I really just don't like the place.

I've been back and forth to Dublin a lot over the last 9 years and I have to say I love the place. Ok so it's a big city with the inevitable element of scum but even the smallest towns in Ireland have that. There are a hell of a lot of decent Dublin people. Friendly, great for a bit of banter and never afraid to put their hand in their pocket and buy you an overpriced pint.
I know someone is going to come back and say that you find that all over Ireland but capital cities are typically less friendly.
If I could afford property in Dublin, I'd buy it.

My first choice would be West Cork though.
Twice the house for half the price.

Hell
Any Dublin surburb that wasn't walking distance to town (actually any Irish city where I wasn't in walking distance of town).
Cork and Kerry - the accent would drive me nuts if I had to endure it for any period of time.
Wouldn't actually like to move to any country spot where I had no connection to the place. Take years to be settled in, and not to be considered a blow in...

Heaven
Where I'm living now, country life still within a handy commute of Dublin. If it wasn't for the Sunday drivers going to Glendalough every week, including the w@nker bikers thinking it's a race track, it'd be even sweeter.
Longford - family connections, mates, history...

Okay
Galway, if it wasn't for the poxy weather on the west coast
Dublin - Portobello, Rathmines, Ranelagh, Drumcondra. Local pubs, shopping etc plus still dead handy for Town.

Well if Patrick J is in Dublin 4 then surely a night acting like 'vermin' wearing a Celtic top along the Shakhill is preferable to being anywhere near that area. (let me guess, a response regarding where I live?)

[fosterdollar]

Again, if i could afford it, then South County Dublin, D4 east, etc. and fock off any of you knobs about to drop the usual lines about those areas.

Had the pleasure of living around Booterstown, Sandymount, Mount Merrion for a few years. Lived in Phibsboro for a while. Was getting to like it there as well but had to go. Spent some time in Churchtown but too far from town.

Have to say i don't like Rathmines/Ranelagh all that much. Reckon you get much more ripped off for your money than you do in the above places which may be a surprise to some.

Live in Kildare now. Only been here about 10 months - have to get out... at least out of Newbridge anyway. No offence to Kildare people on this board but most of the ones i meet here have few likeable qualities. Very anti-social frame of mind as a group.

Top places for me:
Dublin
Longford
Kilkenny
Donegal

I'd just have to throw a "hi" at the end of every sentance hi.

and drink a lot of irn bru.

hi.

Whats the Iron Bru all about hi ???? Mmmm very confused.

Places in Ireland other than Derry i would consider living.....

Galway
Cork
Waterford


Places id not go near with a bargepole,....

Donegal, particularly Ballybofey, the thought of it.
Dublin, is there any Irish left in the capital
Longford, What is there to do ?

[Macy]

Live in Kildare now. Only been here about 10 months - have to get out...

Leaving Kildare with only one Magoo to cope with.... No wonder they weren't friendly, having had previous....

[tiktok]

And North Kerry because it's so ugly.

I know, the Dingle peninsula is such as eyesore

Yes....
Kilkenny
Galway

No...
Limerick
Longford

Dublin is fine, if it wasn't for traffic and property prices driving me past the Meath border

[fosterdollar]

Jesus, the midlands.

Can't imagine living so far from the sea. I mean, think of Westmeath or Longford or Offaly on a hot summer's day. Miles and miles of flat bog land and the haze and flies and ****.

dont want to get into a whole 'where's more beautiful' thing, but in fairness beaches and mountains are not the only things to make a place beautiful. The midlands has The Shannon, a ****load of lakes, drumlin country,.... And when you get a view over vast flat country it can be quite awesome

Not even a mountain to break the monotony. No wave of tourists (bar a few fishermen from the North of England)

funny that you should be looking for a large influx of foreigners and someone above asked did dublin have any irish there any more like it was a bad thing.

First time i ever heard a mountain being used as something 'to break the monotony'

Leaving Kildare with only one Magoo to cope with.... No wonder they weren't friendly, having had previous....

and not a HQ in sight!!

Well i'm from "one of those neighbourhoods where people go around wearing Celtic jersies" that Patrick J so charmingly referred too. Don't wear a Celtic Jersey like the rest of the "vermin", like to think i have more style, but always enjoyed living there apart from Darndale in Nrth Dublin. Was a lovely place but descened into a dive. That's my worst spot along with Neilstown where i got stoned(not in the good sense) playing a u15s football game.

Favourite places would be Dublin, Galway, or Cork probably.
