To be perfectly honest, if I were king for a day I’d make it so that the seat of government rotates between cities every Dáil. 5 years Dublin, 5 years Waterford, 5 years Cork, 5 years Limerick, 5 years Galway, 5 years Kilkenny, lather, rinse, repeat. If politicians have to live in these cities I’d say we’d suddenly see a lot of infrastructure springing up.
Cringe
I wholeheartily agree – having spend months in Dublin – they only care about – Dublin.
The sooner we have a federalist state with each historical province ruling itself then the sooner we will have freedoms here – I’m sure that Ulster – both 9 and 6 counties of it would prefer to have such – If Switzerland can have cantons then I’m sure that provinces outside of the East Coast of Ireland can look after their own laws.
The rest of Ireland should be closed down and we should have one city with decent rail transport and medium density housing.
But if Dumplin isn’t the seat of government, the government might get off the gear and actually sort the country out.
And we can’t be having that.

This is your regular reminder to everyone that Cork is called the Rebel County because they really liked the Royal family in Britain and picked sides in The War of the Roses.
>End Dublin
I can get behind that
Will Cork people ever stop with this shite. Christ almighty. Dublin is a great place to live. So much to do. It 100% has its problems with the housing crisis and living expenses in general. But Holy God, Cork has far less going for it than Dublin does. Probably depends on what you want in where you live but after two years in Cork (as a Non-Dub and constantly assumed to be from Dublin cos I’m not from Cork) I’d been to every pub and done every cultural thing whereas in Dublin there is something new to do every single week. Love living up here.
Jaysus , wasnt expecting this to be as controversial.
I just thought it was funny.

Proud Cork man, that shite is embarassing
