When I was in UCD people I knew in Trinity called it the countryside. There’s no rearin’ on em
I grew up in swords there was definitely quite a bit of countryside around it in the 90s.
Swords is a fairly large town but there’s a huge amount of farm land around donabate….I would say borderline countryside.
Where do you fall on skerries/rush?
Out in Donabate or Portrane it feels like you could be anywhere, there’s no sense of being in or close to a city. Swords though…
Swords used to have quite a distinct accent as recent as the 80s
When I went to college many moons ago, I had to explain to a South Dublin girl where the county I lived in was.
I was from Meath.
There’s plenty of prime farmland in North County Dublin, plenty of young lads driving massive tractors on the roads too.
They don’t pronounce the “o”
I grew up in Donabate , it did feel like the countryside in 00. When we first moved there the closest cash machine was in Swords.
I was on the bus to my da’s house, going through Rush, and heard a pair of girls ahead of me going “I’ve never been this far out into the country before” Never wanted to correct a stranger so bad in my life
Coming down the feltrim road throws you off.
Ah North Country Dublin, beautiful! What County is that in again?
💀
County Fingal is definitely out in the sticks
Out towards Ballyboughal and the Naul it’s as countryside as it gets. Even lusk, rush, skerries and balbrigan outside of the the towns would definitely be considered countryside swords on the other hand is not the countryside.
Man o war ….
Yes haha I have family who refer to Blanch as the countryside, and even would consider Finglas “miles away”
The north county has rural areas. Swords is not rural, Donabate itself isnt rural but the area around it can be. Rush, Skerries, Portrane, Lusk, parts of St. Margrets and Cloghran too could all easily be considered rural areas.
Anything that isn’t 50 meters from the spire is the countryside

Yeah no, you’s still aren’t dubs
they even have culchie accents but think they’re from proper dublin
A guy I know from abroad who lives in Dublin referred to Limerick city as “the countryside” the other day to me.
Probably just a translation error (his English is usually really good) but I still thought it was funny.
That’s far enough for a dub anyway… Leave us culchies alone!
North County dublin..these places would have been the country side years ago very built up now especially swords
Good bit of farmland in Dublin to be fair. 780 farms according to this 2014 article https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/news/dublin-is-home-to-the-biggest-farms-but-cork-has-the-richest-30604760.html
