The stinkiest (and noisiest) places across Ireland have been revealed

Manure, sewage, burning rubbish… we've all had to wind up the car windows every so often when driving past a particularly stinky stretch of road.

But what if you were unlucky enough to have to deal with those unsavoury odours every day? Hundreds of unfortunate Irish residents do, and some of them have even made complaints to Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency.

The EPA has released a list of Ireland's top 10 smelliest places, based on hundreds of odour complaints received by the agency last year.

Almost three quarters of complaints about bad smells last year related to the following ten locations:

Dublin and Cork feature heavily, covering two thirds of the top ten list. The East of Ireland also seems to be a fairly stinky place to live, with Kildare, Wicklow, Louth and Meath all on the list too. So if you're looking for an odour-free life, make a move to the West it would seem.
