Lovin.ie has rated the accents of every single county in Ireland, and while we think the Waterford accent is the sexiest by far (...), we didn't quite come out on top.

Have a look at  the list and let us know what you think...

32. Laois

Not too much going on here.

31. Louth

All 'cos of the elongaaaated voooowels, hai.

We'd enough of that when Brian Cowen was in power.

25. Galway

Controversial perhaps. But to some people it's just a bit neutral.

24. Cavan

Cyavan.

23. Wexford

'Tis quare warm ain't ih?

22. Sligo

Shligo.

21. Meath

Pure daycent.

20. Armagh

Just a bit too serious for our liking.

19. Kilkenny

Often heard in Waterford bragging about hurling. Just NOT THIS YEAR!!!!!

18. Monaghan

An unusual blend of north and south

15. Dublin

Given that there's pretty much a different accent for every postcode, Dublin has been placed smack bang in the middle.

14. Wicklow

Wickla.

13.Tipperary

Pretty inoffensive but when they talk you listen.

12. Waterford

There's a collection of accents across the City and County, but who doesn't love this one?!

11. Kerry

'Kirry' could have been higher but Danny Healy-Rae has it ruined.

10. Roscommon

Surprisingly poetic.

9. Clare

Loud with a dash of mischief.

8. Tyrone

Otherwise known as 'T'rone'.

7. Mayo

The quintessential Irish accent. We can't make up our minds.

 6. Cork

Another big county with various accents. The more neutral west county version has nothing on Cark City, boi.

5. Down

We could listen to their dulcet tones all day.

4. Limerick

They've gone up in our estimations, the gowls.

3. Donegal

Why is it that every time wee Seamie Coleman speaks we just want to give him a hug?

2. Kildare

Ray D'arcy.

1. Derry

Pull up a chair and just listen to them regale you with their entertaining tales in their softly-spoken lilt.

Who could forget this iconic moment?
