——of the title of the county but it would also have got rid of much of this debate. I understand the point made about Cork North-East. It seems to be a common sense geographical definition. Carlow and Wicklow are mentioned. What would we call that? Would it be Wicklow North-East Carlow? Then there would be Kilkenny and the rest of Carlow. It becomes odd as we go down the list. Part of Meath West is included in Westmeath. Senator Mansergh only dipped his toe in it. Tipperary would be extremely confusing. Tipperary North includes the northern part of the administrative area of Tipperary South. Limerick East has a small part of County Clare. Tipperary South touches on parts of Waterford.
