As a Laois person I approve the position of F tier and if there wasn’t Electric Picnic it shouldn’t have even been placed. But you did do Cork dirty, Cork deserved better.

[@jeffmcdonald4225]

My family was kicked out of Scotland for somehow opposing the English. They wound up in Cork, where they were deported somehow to America just before the revolution (where they helped kick the English out of America. So we have a soft spot for Cork in our hearts too!

Oof, that's harsh on Sligo, which has stuff like Countess Markievicz, the Devil's Chimney, the whole Sligo coastline (and thus some of the best surf in the world), the Táin, the Sligo Masters (who are a big deal in trad). I guess we could throw Yeats in, though he's a blow-in to be fair.

Can't decide whether you're very brave, or very . . . well . . . let's just go with brave. Lovely to hear so many nice things about Belfast - I love it, too. I think Connemara may be my very favorite spot, so right-on with Galway. This was fun. Thanks!

For some reason, I laughed out loud when I saw the clip of you climbing and Alex is waiting for you..the look on his face made me laugh because I can hear him say, "Come on, Princess, you are taking too long!" LOL but, I always heard about Cork and how it was very nice for those who don't want to live in Dublin (and, lot sure if this is true, Clare, so correct me if I'm wrong) but I heard that Cork was considered "more Irish" than Dunlin because Dublin (and Dubliners) were more "English" than Irish...and that Cork was an ideal place to live. Anyway, doesn't matter to me. My fiance and I think Ireland is beautiful and would visit all of them (well...maybe not all of them) but, yea. Sorry this was long but had to share! Thanks for the rankings, Clare! Slàinte!!

Crazy how much this has changed in the past 25 years. I remember going through military checkpoints when my dad flew us back to visit my Granny on the Falls Road as a kid. Cars and buildings were on fire and people just went on with their day as if it was normal. That Antrim would be far from A tier. So happy things have changed for the better.

Born and raised in Belfast and loved that you knew Belfast straddles both Antrim and Down (river Lagan demarcates this) bcause some people don't know that. Also, St. Patrick was burried in in Downpatrick so that puts Down on the map too.

That was a great idea and informative.

Lad there's very little flooding in Longford.

And yes I am a wear that this eliminates great Irish writers like Jonathan Swift born 1667, Oliver Goldsmith born 1728, Oscar Wilde born 1854, George Shaw born 1856 and William Yeats born 1865. If you were to ask most Americans name ten Irish writers most of these writers would be mentioned plus Frank McCourt born in Brooklyn New York in 1930 and his family moved back to Ireland when he was four years old plus his brother Malachy born 1931, Alphie born in Limerick 1940 also writers. Unless you've read the book, "It's a long way from penny apples." Most people might not heard of Bill Cullen.

[@davidray6962]

@@thomasgriffin5017 Oh, the beauty is indubitable. Just remarking that if property agents are sending ads to people in other countries about rather modest houses (most I've received have been two or three bedroom, usually on an acre or two of land), for prices well below what I would be paying in either the US or the east of Ireland, they must be having trouble making the sale locally. And yes, I have seriously considered purchasing one, even without ever having been to Ireland, just for the investment. A house and acreage which would go for minimum four times the price in the US? Could do worse.
