The most romantic destination in Ireland has been revealed… Galway!

According to a new survey, conducted by Swizzels Love Hearts, the city of tribes is the most romantic county in Ireland.

It received 20 per cent of the votes, followed closely by Dublin and then Kerry. Cork and Kilkenny rounded out the top five.

Kildare, Donegal, Down, Cavan and Wicklow all made it into the top ten.

The study also revealed that nine out of 10 people are planning to get a gift for their other half this Valentine’s Day.

As for the most sought-after presents, a romantic getaway (perhaps to Galway?) took poll position.

A romantic meal for two came in second with a declaration of love coming in third. Flowers and a goodbye kiss were also named as desirable presents.

While everyone will have their own someone special in mind this Saturday, potential celebrity companions are never too far away from one’s imagination.

Scarlett Johansson is apparently the ideal date for guys. She narrowly beat Mila Kunis to that title with Roz Purcell, Nadia Forde and Jennifer Lawrence popular choices as well.

Meanwhile the ladies would most like to spend some quality time with Bradley Cooper. Ryan Gosling, Jamie Dornan, Rob Kearney, Bernard Brogan and Bressie were also named as ideal Valentines.
