Alphabetical List of Irish Counties

August 7, 2007 by Michele Neylon 36 Comments

I needed an alphabetical list of the 32 counties of Ireland, so I did one up
Not terribly exciting, but it saves typing πŸ™‚
You can grab it here:32 counties of Ireland in alphabetical order

UPDATE: Here’s an alternate version with them all one line separated by commas

And via Katherine here’s a version which is suitable for forms ie. “options” in HTML: ireland-32-counties-as-form-options

UPDATE (again) – a couple of the links above were not working due to my moving of this site, but they’re fixed now. Sorry about that!

    A former Belgian housemate of mine used to attempt to remember all the counties and recite the list in that order. Terribly exciting nation, the Belgians…

    Some of those are in the UK?

    Chris
    It’s a list of the 32 counties not the 26

    I’m pretty sure that Fingal became a county about 10 years ago. Anytime I’m heading out to Swords there are ‘welcome to County Fingal’ signs as you approach.

    @eden: so is dun laoghaire/rathdown – I think they were trying to make Ireland a 32 county nation by stealth…

    According to the Fingal website:
    “It came into being on the 1st. January, 1994 following the abolition of the former Dublin County Council and the establishment of 3 new authorities to replace it.”

    We’ll have to wait and see… if the Dubs manage to win the All-Ireland there will be a great outcry to have the 3 separate “counties” of Dublin fielding their own team.
    “Fingal” and “Dun Laoighaire/Rathdown” seem imaginative enough, but what creative genius decided to call the other area “South County Dublin”?

    Similarly then, the list should include “North Tipperary” and “South Tipperary” rather than just “Tipperary” – at least according to
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_of_Ireland#Republic_of_Ireland

    Those “sub-counties” are used for government adminstrative purposes, local authorities, electoral boundaries and defining council areas. However there are traditionally 32 counties. You don’t post mail out to ‘North Tipperary’ – its just ‘Tipperary’ – and before someone says you do post mail to Dun Laoighaire it’s because it’s a townland (of county Dublin)!

    Peter – exactly

  11. Ken Guest says

    August 7, 2007 at 2:52 pm

    So, I am imagining it Peter, when I notice friends of my family have post addressed to them as “Ballingarry, North Tipperary”; sometimes addressed as “Ballingarry, Tipperary NR [North Riding]” – which is precisely what they do considering there is also a Ballingarry in South Tipperary close to the Kilkenny border.
    You are correct though, Michele’s list is of the traditional 32 counties of Ireland.

  12. Peter Armstrong says

    August 7, 2007 at 4:01 pm

    Ken > Fair enough. There’s an exception to every rule!
    However that’s just because An Post are likely to send it to the wrong place and not because we talk about ‘Tipperary North Riding’ in every day conversation.

    I find it amusing that one of the most “throw away” posts I’ve made this year gets over a dozen comments πŸ™‚

  14. Will says

    August 7, 2007 at 8:41 pm

    But you left out County Ring. Podge and Rodge are somewhere in there (and may they stay there)

    If it’s of any use; here’s a zip of the counties of Ireland for Zen Cart – it contains two files: one listing the 26 counties of the Republic. The other file contains a list of all 32 counties.
    It may ‘just work’ with OS Commerce too.

    Handy πŸ™‚
    I put the list together for this:

    Cheers for this Michele, I’ve visited this post about 20 times in the past few years. This time I’m using the list to help build my fashion directory on clothes.ie

    Ridiculously useful, I keep coming back to this.

    Also handy to have them in as options for a form and as a comma delimited list(extra gaps after commas to fit them here). Maybe add to file?

    I could upload an alternative file I guess .. I’ll have to see what’s in the one that’s there – bearing in mind that I shoved it up there years ago

  23. Katherine says

    October 12, 2011 at 3:30 pm

    I know, I’ve been returning to it for years πŸ™‚

    You can remove the silly list of counties in my post – I had put them in as options, but that was cleaned up.

  24. Michele says

    October 12, 2011 at 3:57 pm

    Katherine

    I got your email with the non-cleaned up version and I’ll upload it shortly πŸ™‚

    Thanks
