QUIZ: Can you beat the clock and name the 19 most populated towns in Ireland?

Do you live in one of them?

Conor Heneghan

most populated towns

If you can get all 19 in the time allowed, you deserve a pat on the back.

Amongst the many findings when the census was published earlier this year was a list of the most populated towns in Ireland in 2016.

The list, as you might expect, does not include the five cities in the Republic of Ireland – Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford.

The towns included on the list, however, are fairly well stocked with people, with populations ranging from 19,199 in the town in 19th spot to 40,956 in the town in first place.

We thought that giving you the county as a hint would be too easy, so instead, we’ve provided you with the province of the towns in question or, in the case of two Dublin towns, the administrative area.

It’s not exactly easy, so with that in mind, we’re giving you five minutes to try and name all 19.

We reckon a score of over 15 is better than decent, so see if you can impress us with a better score once the clock starts.

Go!
