Mayo has been ranked quite high to survive a Zombie Apocalypse in

According to them, Galway tops the survival charts thanks to its low population, vast farmland, lakes, reservoirs, and the zombie-blocking Connemara mountains - basically Ireland’s answer to Jackson, Wyoming.
Rounding out the top five are Cork, Limerick, Waterford, and Tipperary, all boasting the right mix of resources, isolation, and access to pharmacies and supermarkets.
Mayo ranks in sixth place which is a decent finish. Wide open spaces in parts of Mayo would allow to spot the zombies shuffling along from a distance one might think.
The rankings are based on real data, from population density and proximity to emergency services to sunshine hours and farm acreage - because yes, you will need to grow your own carrots.
