Dublin, also known as the big smoke, is full of pubs, clubs and you can shop until you drop.
It's the place culchies love to go, whether it’s wearing their cowboy hats to see Garth Brooks in Croke Park or if they’re wearing their county coloured headbands to an All-Ireland match, it’s the place where people meet and enjoy each other's company.
But why is it always Dublin? Why can everyone not gather in another county? A county like Cavan.

Here’s some reasons why Cavan in better than the capital:
Cheap pints
You can pay serious money for a pint in Temple Bar. So why not go to a quiet old man's pub in the middle of the countryside for cheaper prices?
Cheaper rent
You could pay over a grand to rent a shoebox sized room in Dublin but for the same price, you could get a four bedroom house in a field in Cavan.
Communion money
You’re never stuck for money in Cavan because you always have your communion money that’s been sitting in the Credit Union for decades to fall back on.
Cows
Coppers may be exciting for the culchies in Dublin, but in Cavan there’s a great place where people like to gather, it’s called the mart.
Potholes
You don’t have to pay to go to a swimming pool when there’s plenty of potholes to dive into on the road beside your house.
Fashion
Forget going to Fashion week in the likes of Paris, Milan, New York or London. It’s cheaper to get the 109X bus to Cavan and witness the stylish farmers. From checked shirts, brown shoes and the classic, Superdry jacket - it’s the culchie package.
Forgetting your wallet
Don’t worry if you forget your wallet when you’re heading to the pub in Cavan. It’s a ritual in the county, so you’re definitely not the only one who left the house without it.
Fitness
Everyone in Cavan has six packs and always reach their daily steps without even trying. It’s because they have to absolutely leg it from the pub when it’s their turn to pay for the round. Rumour has it that some Cavan people have been seen running away faster than Usain Bolt.
Natural scent
No need for your perfumes from Brown Thomas in Cavan. Everyone has one unique natural eau de parfum scent in Cavan, it’s called Slurry No. 5.
