It's a nice town though, I would prefer Kenmare myself in Kerry, never been to Dingle but heard good things

Few good spots in Waterford, the gaeltacht, Dungarvan, the city itself

I'm going to suggest a wild theory here, I don't think Waterford has a bad town in it. I would freely admit the city itself is not as nice as Kilkenny or Galway, but still far from a sh*thole. 

Never particularly liked my own home town of Tramore when I was growing up, but when you allow for the insular attitudes of the locals, and the tackiness of the amusement arcades down by the beach front, and the annual influx of scumbag Dubs that venture there during the summer months (that isn't a rant or a dig at Dubs, I'm sure many lads on here spent childhood summers in Tramore & have good memories of it, but all we get these days, for the last decade or so are Dubs who can't afford a Ryanair flight to Santa Ponza/Lanzarote who seem to take it as their national duty to rob the local supermarket & off licence), it is quite a a decent looking small town with one of the country's best (semi polluted) beaches. 

Dungarvan, give or take a few unnecessary roundabouts, is a great spot to go out in, great spot for pubs, with every one of them in walking distance of the main square. 

Lismore is a fantastic looking small town, with multiple awards to back that opinion up, Dunmore East likewise. The rest are really only villages with less than 1000 population, so don't really count in my view as regards the original post. 

I would echo Reddladd's Tipp comments, having driven through all of them at some stage, and as regards Cork, I'm going to throw in Castlemartyr & Killeagh, if only just for their absurd traffic policing on Munster hurling Final day, where locals returning from mass, coming out of side roads & byways get priority over Déise lads travelling to PUC for the final on the main Waterford Cork road.  The tailbacks are something you have to experience, it is beyond frustration to the point that any time we play in PUC these days, I go the night before rather than face them on match day. 

Other nice towns (NOT a City LOL), Kilkenny is another great spot. 


Cappoquin is a place that will always be close to my heart.

I would go nearly as far as classing Killarney a sh*t hole but the lakes rescue it.
Otherwise Kerry is relatively blemish free. Sneem, Kenmare, Waterville, Listowel, Cahirciveen etc. All have their charms

Kenmare has always been a favourite of mine. Kilaloe/ Balina too.

Nearby Garrykennedy is a fantastic little spot for a few pints of black also if you're in the area.

Never particularly noticed it until you said it, but yes, yer right. The one outside it that separates the town/Abbeyside from the Cork road, fair enough. The one at Fraher field/Park hotel ?? The one at Foleys petrol station ?? The one at Beresford trailers ??  The one at the other end of that road outside GSK ?? I'm missing at least 3 or 4  in between, what the fcuk are they for anyway ??. And if ya go through the town, the 2nd one that separates the town from Abbeyside, before the bridge ??  Is there another one at the Square end of the bridge/Lawlors these days ??  The one outside the top of (is it Mary St ?) the church ?? , the one outside the Garda Station ?? 

Roundabouts aside tho, good spot to go out in, as long as ya wouldn't be bumping into yerself or those other 2 loons you occasionally socialise with LOL





I'll have you know we are upstanding members of society,apart from the odd lapse...
