Killarney is a rip off. Over a fiver for a pint in some places. It's the type of place you'd see Americans with Aran Jumpers and Flat caps in a nightclub.

Kenmare is much nicer.
For me Kenmare is the poor relation in Kerry Killarney and Dingle would buy and sell Kenmare for me.
Kenmare can be a bit dead compared to the other 2.
The other 2 always have a great atmosphere and much more variety

The restrictions last august led to a water downed version of Kerry for me. Was a pain the hoop booking pubs and restaurants. Would only head back if the wet pubs were open and less of the restrictions as felt i packed it all in sightseeing wise. 

Not quite on BSMs wavelength but wouldnt be mad for searching out beach after beach especially if the weather is shoite etc. Just want the craic, bit of sights and pints!

Your last line nails it. 100s for towns offer this. None are any better then the other.

I wouldn't agree with that in fairness. There are certain towns that are much better set up for tourism than others and just have a general buzz about the place during the summer, whether it be families or a group of lads on the lash. You couldn't compare Killarney with Longford for example in my view.

Agree. How about Killarney and Bundoran? Or Kinsale and Carlingford? Westport and Galway?
If you are on a high stool with folk you like does it matter a fock which one you are in. Personally I like to go within 2 hrs of home. No need to travel further. Why would I want to spend 4/5 hrs going to Donegal or West Cork. Makes zero sense to me

More pubs, restaurants, scenery, things to do - it's a lot more popular. 

Go and drive around and you'll see Clap

How does Kerry have more scenery than Donegal LOL

It's more picturesque and there are a lot more places to visit etc...

There is a lot more on offer in Kerry than there is in Donegal.



I suppose what is more picturesque is subjective but I don't really see how Kerry is more or less picturesque than anywhere else along the west coast. I'd imagine there are just as many places to visit in Donegal as there is in Kerry. It's just Kerry is far better advertised and more popular than Donegal. It would be much better set up for large numbers of tourists too in fairness which is absolutely a valid reason to prefer going to Kerry. I just don't understand how Kerry can be considered more picturesque or have more scenery. They are both mountainous counties with rugged Atlantic coasts. 
That’s spot on I said the same earlier in this thread. There’s absolutely feck all invested in Donegal to push tourism apart from what local businesses are doing. Sure the yanks land in Dublin and are bussed down to Kerry to spend the time. Have heard of some great success stories last summer about small businesses so there’s definitely great potential . I’ve never seen the county as busy as last summer it was absolute madness at times. There’s very little difference if you went to any costal area down along the west coast 
They fly down on Aer Arann flights which are subsidised by your tax money so get it up ya

That would be correct. Jackal, if you don't like Americans & Aran jumpers you'd be best to avoid Kenmare as much as Killarney

Agree with that. Will definitely go back when pubs reopen properly. It was a shame because Dingle looked like a great place for a session, pubs everywhere.
