The roscommon thread got me thinking, we have some awful places, that from my brief sojourn in Rossieland, believe there are far worse. Can we have some reasonable suggestions, preferably from your own counties. I think those from our larger cities can suggest areas and suburbs. I will get the ball rolling with Bandon and Dunmanway. Bandon is quite famous as a sh*tehole due it's sectarian past. An Orange Order lodge died out around the great slaughter of WW1 and there is the well known phrase of even the 'pigs are protestant ', which isn't a reference to the police or the Bandon car but the fact that farmers had to be protestant to sell their wares at the mart. Thankfully these things are long in the past but medieval past times such as inter pub sh*te beatings, inherent ignorance and feeling the need to invade the nearby towns that had the cheek to forget these times are all still going on. I am from a town in West Cork, to get to the City we have to go through Bandon, I am a borderline alcoholic with an obsession for pubs. I have had one pint in Bandon in my life. Enough said. Dunmanway. Famous for inheriting a group of English hippies in the 70's who liked the name of the large hill that overlooks it, Cool mountain, they are the towns most modern feature and the have beeen stoned since the Beatles were number 1. I once did some work with my stepfather there and he brought me for a pint in a quite corner bar. He has quite tanned skin and a foreign accent. The three other customers and the barman, stared at him for our entire time in the pub. I mentioned on leaving that next time I would bring a tiger. Gatsby's niteclub (sic) is still the only late venue I have seen wellingtons worn. It is a shame as there is some lovely scenery nearby but it feels like going back in time and not in a quaint or charming way. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

At least 80% maybe even closer to 90% and no its not gated. My mother grew up there and my girlfriend spent the first 12 years of her life there, with her father being from there and it was a very good place back in those days. I still have a cousin who lives there but there is feck all left in the place in terms of shops, pubs, etc. My uncle came home from Oz last christmas after being away for over 20 years and it actually both really upset and annoyed him the state it was in. |

Castlebar is on the up,was a bit of a kip when i was growing up there in the 90's (when i say bit of a kip,i mean typical Irsih provincial town) The opening of the lake walk way in 2012 changed the town,add the that the new greenway,the entire new town centre and lots of investment (thanks Enda and Michael Ring!) It's a great town. Second biggest shopping area in Connacht (after Galway) Serious social initiatives by the locals,a festival every weekend between now and september,could go on all day about it.Really shows how a town can be turned around and genuinely proud of the place.

Always surprised by Athlone being included in such a debate. Enjoyed my trips there, the locals are decent, had a few decent meals and drinks, far from the worst. Also Cobh? I would class Cobh as a beautiful town , full of history. Granted I would avoid it on a Saturday night as it can be quite rough but it is far from what I would class as a kip. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Would agree on Mountmellick, and Mountrath is another absolute tip. Portlaoise is also very disjointed, not quite as ugly as Shannon or Loughrea but at least it has a train station to make a quick escape. In fact, save for the Slieve Blooms & a little village called Castletown I used to stop in driving Southwest, Laois as an entire County could be blown up, before turning the entire Midlands into a reservoir. NOWHERE is worse than Thurles tho.

Was driving through there one day and, having never been in a truly unionist area before, was amazed at how British the place was. The roundabouts with the uvf crest (think it's the uvf crest anyway) and the big metal crown cracked me up. Grew up beside Ballyer, has always been an impressive sh1thole. The area just over the bridge beside Labre Park has been and still is an absolute disgrace. Wouldnt be the roughest town by any means but have always regarded Celbridge as a shyte town.

So because it is a bit dodgy at night, it is a kip? A bit harsh. I made the OP and I mentioned areas of larger towns etc. To be taken separately, Glanmire is classed as a town though. Loads of towns are dodgy at night. I would rather walk into a halting site and shout f**k the knackers' then go for a pint in the stables or Bridewell in Bangding (Bandon on maps) and that is a full blown kip 24 hours a day. A fella tried to start a fight in Limerick city centre last Saturday evening for no reason at all, I still wouldn't classify it as the worst in Ireland ( mind you, it won't get many mentions in the 'nicest' thread either!). I have no connection to Cobh but used to go there reasonably regularly by choice, it is a pretty, seaside town. Brought visitors from England for a day out there and the complaints were minimal from them. Plenty to do for a town of 10 thousand odd ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Courtown would be alright, if they kept the dubs out. Used to see a girl from Gorey and went to Courtown a few times, went down one day when they played a gah match. f**king hell, was like Benidorm. Beer bellies, sh*t arms and bad tattoos everywhere. Generic fighting, kids from Angela'a Ashes running riot and numerous contenders for world's most frightening woman. On the plus side, the crazy golf was relatively empty and I scored well on the back nine ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |

Bandon is no doubt a rough enough spot but it is home to the Hammies and there are plenty of good pubs on the northside as scumbags never climb the hill. Also gave birth to many Irish heroes like Tom Barry.As for the Bridewell stay well away there's been men killed in there. Won't ever move back but enjoy my visits. ------------- Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile. |

How can Bandon claim Tom Barry? Tom was born in Killorglin, moving at a young age to the Ardfield-Rathbarry area as his dad was in RIC man and was stationed in Rosscarbery. Barry's wife, Leslie Price, was a Bandon woman and was engagaged to Barry's closest friend in the Army,Charlie Hurley, at the time of his death in Crossbarry. Price was herself an active Republica , bing director of organisations for Cumann na mBán. Ye will be claiming Collins next ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.
