Munster
Munster (Irish: an Mhumhain [ə ˈwuːnʲ] or Cúige Mumhan [ˌkuːɟə ˈmˠuːnˠ]) is the largest of the four provinces of Ireland, located in the south west of the island.

Following the Norman invasion of Ireland, the ancient kingdoms were shired into counties for administrative and judicial purposes.
