I'd say the population of Limerick and Dublin are more glad than you are.

Went down a few years back for a weekend, not the worst place in the world, had an altercation with a Cork man  here though, who hated anything Leinster related and  when i told him i was from Kildare he called me a "Jackeen Bastard" Confused

Tommy Tiernan sums it up nicely -


I have a huge soft spot for cork, alot of comparisons to Liverpool Siege mentality - The peoples republic of cork and all that - Its seen serious unemployment and hard times aka Charlie Haughy - its always been a fianna gael labour strong hold -

They always give the dubs a hard time, but its only banter and its a great place for characters and the banter.
Lots of Dubs happily living in cork -

West cork, awesome coast road to Dingle some of the best scenery, pubs and seafood in the world.

I always lived on the north side -
