I’m living in westport, it’s a rain distribution centre for all ireland.

A couple of years ago one of the big US magazines (Forbes?) voted Kenmare as one of the world’s best places in which to live. Despite that “accolade” it is undergoing rampant sprawl, has no swimming pool, no cinema, no meaningful facilities or architecture (even Fuller did not do much of a job on the GSH / Park), a constant traffic jam and regularly gets 260+ in the Tidy Towns.

You are so lucky rainman !! How is the pint in Hobans (of the Octagon ) these days ? or out in Cambells at the bottom of the Reek -great places where it never rains. Not forgetting
the Asgard, the Towers, the Shebeen, the………………………………….!!!!!!!

Adare is also a nice town to live in and was a voted won of the prettiest town in Ireland
Birdhill (on the N7)is a nice village too , very tidy, clean and seems
and Ennis won this years tidy town surprisingly when taking the size of the town into mind!

I like the medieval streets ,and is a booming town from becoming the first information age town in Ireland!
as said earlier though all towns are experiencing the sprawl 🙁
