I didn’t realise the were any other counties outside of Dublin 😏😬
Co Carlow is one of those fake counties. It has a made up name that’s just as unbelievable as Roscommon’s.
That’s a pretty shit list for poor old Carlow “Did you know Carlow is in Leinster?” “Cars from Carlow have CW on their plates!”
Ten things you didn’t know about Co Carlow
1. Hollywood actress Saoirse Ronan wasnt born here.
2. Carlow is just another one of twelve counties that make up the province of Leinster.
3. The song “Follow Me Up to Carlow” was written by Patrick Joseph McCall in 1899. The tune may or may not have been performed by the pipers of Fiach McHugh O’Byrne, who defeated 3,000 English soldiers at the Battle of Glenmalure in 1580. We don’t know and have no reason to think so.
4. Carlow town is in Carlow.
5. No songwriters of note were born there.
6. Carlow Town is a designated “Twin City / Town” with Dole, France because of the town’s impoverished condition.
7. Carlow’s GAA nickname is “The Scallion Eaters” for fucks sake.
8. They never won a national competition.
9. License plates of cars registered in Carlow begin with “CW.”
10. Surnames associated with Carlow include Brennan, Byrne, Kavanagh, Putin, Cromwell, Thatcher and Bort.
I think we should update the headline to
“Ten things you didn’t **want** to know about Co. Carlow “
Did you know Carlow rhymes with Barlow who was the shittest member of East 17 just like Carlow is the shittest county in Connaught
Ten things you didn’t know about County Carlow
1. There’s a County Carlow
2. …yeah, that’s all we got…
11 – It’s the only county to contain the name of a Simpsons character in it.
