Cork is friendly... my backside. Are we talking about Cork, Co Cork here?
Maybe they are friendly to other people from Cork.
They hate the Welsh
They hate the English
They hate the Polish
They hate people from Antrim
They hate people from Armagh
They hate people from Derry
They hate people from Down
They hate people from Donegal
They hate people from the other 30 counties I haven't bothered to mention
They hate people who can't understand the 5 Irish words they know, but they hate the culchies who understand more than they do.
I went there for a hen night, and found it dickensian.
Dublin on the other hand I love, but if you are coming for a holiday and want to experience some 'Irish culture', you may be a little disappointed. It is like any major city, there a lot of immigrants and so it has tended to adopt their ways a little more. Nothing wrong with that, unless you are looking to experience something that epitomises 'Irish living'.
I would recommend two places that are really frriendly:
Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal (English speaking area)
Dingle, Co. Kerry (Irish speaking, but they all understand English and are friendly and happy enough to use it).

I'd say Cork is the nicer city. Dublin, wasn't all that nice when I went there not so long ago, but I adore Cork. But Kerry rules!!!!

Hi there! theres no comparison,the better city id have to say is Cork,the people are exceptionally more laid back and far more friendly,even the drivers in Cork are courteous to visitors and will give you the time of day,whereas in Dublin they overtake ya on corners and hills and another work for parking in Dublin would have to be "abandonment of vehicle" Great shopping,Clean streets,lovely people,sure wot more could ya want! Hope you enjoy the experience whichever city you decide upon!

Dublin has more to do and is easily accessible (to airport and ferries), but Cork has more "charm." The people in Cork are very friendly and sweet. Dublin is more urban and rushed. In sum, each city has their pros and cons.

Dublin is nicer aesthetically, but Cork has a nicer atmosphere

i'm biased too, yet no longer as a lot cos I stay in Cork county. i myself like the two cities, yet in keeping with centers, Dublin has extra perfect identifying to purchase centres and extra entertainment centers, i think that is using the vacationer factor.
