I will amend my original tweet to include the wonderful county of #Meath which we have stayed in many times before visiting Cavan this time.

You weren't the first inhabitant of Meath to point out how wonderful their beloved county is to us on this trip - he was very adamant that their is only one county in Ireland that is worth being from!
