Is it ALL of them?

If there's one thing we can all agree on here in Ireland, i's that it rains here.. a lot.

And we also all do love telling each other about how much worse the weather is where we are.

But, a new study has emerged, which shows which counties are actually the rainiest.

Chill Insurance carried out a study on a number of things, and the amount of rain in each county was one of them.

It found that Kerry topped the list for the rainiest county.

Here's the top 10:

  1. Kerry
  2. Cork
  3. Limerick
  4. Galway
  5. Tipperary
  6. Mayo
  7. Clare
  8. Sligo
  9. Wexford
  10. Waterford

The study also found the top counties to be a driver, taking into account things like stats on car thefts, the lowest rainfall, test pass rates and even the scenery.

According to the study, the best county to be a driver in is Longford.

And that's largely down to the fact it has the lowest level of car theft and the lowest average rainfall.

Here's the top few:

  1. Longford
  2. Monaghan
  3. Laois
  4. Roscommon/Westmeath in joint place
