Dubliners are the most argumentative people in the country with rows over blocked driveways and loud music the most likely to make us fall out with our neighbours.

A new survey has found that Irish men are more likely to argue with their neighbours than with women with Dubs saying they're far more likely to have arguments than people in the rest of the country.

The poll, conducted by online lottery company Lottoland, found the most common reason neighbours fall out in Dublin is over blocked driveways with disagreements over loud music coming second.

Other causes for arguments included straying pets or animals, the cutting down of trees or hedge, having a noisy builder next door and leaving their rubbish outside each other's homes.

Lottoland Ireland’s Country Manager Graham Ross said: “We all know the stresses and strains of modern life can having their mark but who knew that Irish people had it in for their neighbours this much?

"Hopefully an extra long festive break has helped rather than increased the incidents of local squabbling and we can all put our New Year’s resolutions to good use by being nicer to each other in 2020."

Across the rest of the country, loud music was the biggest cause of rows between Munster people while straying pets and trespassing animals were the biggest reason Connacht and Ulster neighbours fell out.

The results also show that over-65s are the calmest and best neighbours to have as they complain the least while 18 to 24s are likely to complain the most.
