concentrate on complete lists of the names of all irish counties plz!

[marnameow.livejournal.com]

Including Norn Ireland? Actually, I can do *those* ones;

Munster: Waterford, Cork, Kerry, Tipperary, Clare, Limerick

Leinster: Wexford, Wicklow, Killarney, Dublin, Longford, Meath, Laois, Carlow, Offaly, Westmeath erm erm erm

Connacht: Galway, Sligo, Leitrim, Mayo, Roscommon

Ulster: Fermanagh, Armagh, Tyrone, Derry, Antrim, Down (NI)
Donegal, Cavan, Monaghan (RoI)

I think I am missing some from Leinster.

Oh, arse, when I said Killarney there I meant Kildare! Also add Kilkenny to that list.

is 7/43 something to do with the "six counties" (ie was seven but Monaghan etc?)

ie were/are there 43 irish counties in toto -- looks like NOT from your list...

[marnameow.livejournal.com]

It was always six; I think RickyT is OTM with his cricket idea.

There are 32 counties in total; 6 in the north and 26 in the republic. I THINK they are all above now, unless I have miscounted/ duplicated/ made some up.

Monaghan sounds like a boxer

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

more applause!

[marnameow.livejournal.com]

I think the missing one is Louth!

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

Longford (I wondered if Lord L might be an answer, but his Wiki entry doesn't help much)
Clare
Kerry (John?)
Galway (James?)
Kilkenny (Cats?)
Meath
Mayo
Sligo...

James Galway - Danny Boy - vii?

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

there is a virginia mayo, but i'm not sure what she does/did

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I assume, from all of this, that she adopted the name Mayo instead of Jones...

Why one would do that is another matter entirely.

[marnameow.livejournal.com]

Marriage?

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah maybe - for some reason (maybe the word "adopted") I just thought of pen names/stage names.

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

or stagename? because there are lots of joneses already?
