KILDARE IS A county which isn’t really talked about much. We’re based outside of Dublin and we’re relatively inoffensive as a county. Our county colour is white for god’s sake which made county colours night in the Gaeltacht pretty straightforward.
To our credit we’ve produced a number of great women including Aisling Bea, Emer McLysaght, MayKay and of course, St. Brigid as well as someone called Nonpareil Jack Dempsey who just sounds badass.
The N7 is the worst place in the world to be honest.
5. We tend to crop up in some of the oddest places
I was talking to a guy from Switzerland tonight. I usually say I'm from Dublin bc it's easier but when I said I was Irish he asked was I from Kildare. When I asked how he knew Kildare he said "I've played a lot of strategy games"
St Brigid's Day seems to be massive this year. But I'm from Kildare, yo. We've been celebrating her big cape for years. #religioushipsters Also it's Brigid, not Bridget. Don't @ me pic.twitter.com/RBzsuP1SX5

KILDARE IS A county which isn’t really talked about much. We’re based outside of Dublin and we’re relatively inoffensive as a county. Our county colour is white for god’s sake which made county colours night in the Gaeltacht pretty straightforward.
To our credit we’ve produced a number of great women including Aisling Bea, Emer McLysaght, MayKay and of course, St. Brigid as well as someone called Nonpareil Jack Dempsey who just sounds badass.
Here are 17 tweets to remind you why our small county can be both awful and great at the same time.
1. We have some of the best tourist attractions
I will not hear a word against our fine Steam Museum thank you.
2. We also have Kildare Village which Dublin does not
Do we go to it? No. But we’re still PROUD of it.
3. That being said, not living in Dublin does present its issues
Commuting is hell.
4. And all that commuting can have an effect
The N7 is the worst place in the world to be honest.
5. We tend to crop up in some of the oddest places
Yeah that’s actually a thing.
6. We have a habit of embarrassing politicians
We still don’t know why the llama or the Taoiseach was there.
7. We’re proud of some odd things
Why was he cutting it with a bottle of champagne? Why is this photo framed? I NEED ANSWERS.
8. When the weather hits, it tends to hit us bad
We nearly lost the entire county to snow.
9. But we tend to make the best of it
Those people are now renting that igloo out as a ‘small, studio flat just outside the city centre’.
10. We have a sexy accent apparently
Even though nobody can quite agree what exactly a Kildare accent is.
11. And we’re not quite sure ourselves where we’re from
‘I’m from Dublin.’ ‘Rachel you’re from Kildare’. ‘Ok I live on the border’.
12. We tend to get a lot of slagging for our existence
We’re not nondescript we just don’t like hogging all the attention like Dublin does.
13. We do tend to inflict it on ourselves
14. And we really do love our horses
If you don’t own a horse, are you even from Kildare? (Spoiler alert: Yes unfortunately).
15. But sometimes you have to look on the lighter side
It would be a great remix too.
16. And hey, we gave Ireland St. Brigid
Take that Dublin.
17. And there’s nothing wrong with being neutral
It could be worse, we could be from Wicklow or Kerry.
