Kilbrittain, County Cork

9. Kill, Co. Kildare - perhaps one of the more violently named place names in Ireland, along with Swords and Stoneybatter, both in Dublin.

Honorable mentions:

Trim, Co. Meath (which rather surprisingly has the highest rates of obesity in the country)

Clones, Co. Monaghan

Tang, Co. Westmeath

Tempo, Co. Fermanagh

Inch, Co. Cork

Camp, Co. Kerry

Ovens, Co. Cork

Most unpronounceable:

A tie between Graiguenamanagh and Kilmacanogue

No place north of the Border is mentioned in the above article, even though 96% of the Six-County place names are of Irish origion (according to an article in the "Belfast Telegraph" about 3 years ago). Having read the above item, I'm beginning to wonder if Conn Corrigan writes other articles effectively supporting Partition - and if so, why so?
