That means that roughly 16,000 Leitrim-ites do not live in Leitrim.
There are approximately 5.127 million Irish people, so let’s call it 5.1 million. Therefore, if every person who left Leitrim stayed in Ireland and were evenly spread about, there would be a 0.3% chance of a person you meet being from Leitrim.
My home ec teacher said Leitrim is filled with old farmers and it’s the worst county in Ireland. She was a bitch and everyone hated her but we all loved her cause she was a bitch

All these nay-sayers no nothing of the joy of an away-win in Bee Park, Manorhamilton
It’s not real it’s made up to get extra EU grants
Just like Roscommon really. I’ve only ever met 2 people from Roscommon.
I’ve actually genuinely never met anyone from Leitrim.
My dad’s family is from Leitrim, or at least that’s what they tell me.
It’s prt of a money laundering front for grants from the government. Shush
Leitrim and Tir na Nog, famous Irish mythological places.
Oi 🤣
I know one person from Leitrim and they basically claim they’re from Donegal lol
So, Leitrim is like Ireland’s Bermuda, then?
I did…but he wanted to be a politician.
What’s a Leitrim?
I’ve long been convinced that Leitrim does not actually exist, but is just a scheme by the Roscommon County Council get double payments on grants.
And we just let them get away with it for all these years because no-one actually wants to be in Roscommon long enough to check.
My Ma was born in Manorhamilton, please don’t tell anyone.
Schrödingers Leitrim it both exists and doesn’t exist. Or is dead in a box or something like that.
I have met a few, as Stephen “Cowboy” Kelly would say, “they’re all a bunch of miserable cunts”.
There was a teacher in my secondary school from Leitrim.
One time in geography class Leitrim came up and the geography teacher said that no one lived there. When someone mentioned that the teacher from Leitrim was from there he was like “yeah, he’s the only person from there.”
Even the road signs are in on the cover up
I know three. Great bunch of lads
(Not of which were in Leitrim when I met them)
They invented the notion of Leitrim so Cavan folk would finally have somewhere to look down upon.

Everyone I’ve ever met from Leitrim has been completely bonkers
Interesting way to look at this is how far do people move when they grow up.
The two counties people are most likely to leave are Roscommon and Leitrim.

Both have about 55% of their population at home.
Leitrim has a population of approximately 35,000.
