Talk:County Armagh

message: I propose an edit update to state the following in local government section. 
County Armagh ceased to serve as a local government unit in 1973 and the county was divided into four district councils for local government purposes, namely Armagh City and District Council, most of Craigavon Borough Council, approximately the western third of Newry and Mourne District Council and a part of Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council, centred around Peatlands Park. These councils in turn were disbanded in a streamlining of local government in April 2015 with Armagh being placed into three new districts of Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon, Mid Ulster and Newry, Mourne & Down. Armagh is one of the four counties of Northern Ireland presently to have a majority of the population from a Catholic background, according to the 2011 census.

message: Before we start a revert war lets; 1) discuss it and how disagreements can be resolved, 2) "the Troubles" are more complicated than simply the presence of "the British" and theirfore we should refain from implying that this is the only reason for a military presence, and 3) their is more to the county than simply a military presence and theirfore we should seek balance.

Any county crest that you would find for any of the counties in NI are going to be historical crest, being that currrently non of the counties in NI have a political status/structure , ulink their counterparts in the Republic, to take a crest from. --Boothy443 |  trácht ar 06:50, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Northern Ireland county maps 

message: Whilst one must be cautious when one speaks about population figures for any of Northern Ireland's counties (because data are no longer collected on a county basis), a relatively reliable estimate can be made using the figures and maps provided by the Ordnance Survey and the figures from the 2011 Census freely available from NISRA.gov.uk. As an overview, many Local Government Areas' boundaries (drawn up in the 1970s) fall into line with the old county structure (eg. Armagh City & District Council area lies entirely within the bounds of County Armagh). Where this is not the case, Electoral Wards prove an invaluable agent to plug the gaps (eg. Craigavon Borough Council is mostly in County Armagh, but some parts of the eastern and southeastern rural hinterland are in County Down; Donaghcloney is one such electoral ward - Donaghcloney is in Co. Down but is administered as part of Craigavon Borough Council area). Sometimes the electoral ward boundaries were drawn (or in other cases redrawn) in such a way that they are split by counties. In this instance one can use the Census Output Areas (or their new 2011 equivalent: the Small Area which are almost always synonomous with one another) to break up the Electoral Ward into its constituent parts (eg. the Small Area N00002882 (previously known as Census Output Area 95OO170004) is in County Armagh, but also forms part of Killyman Electoral Ward, which is part of Dungannon and South Tyrone District Council area - most of the Killyman Electoral Ward are in County Tyrone). On the rare occassion that the borders of the Small Area/Census Output Area are not in line with the old County boundaries, I have either chosen or excluded any given area depending on where most of the Small Area lies and where most of the population of that given area live (eg. Small Area N00002331 (formerly the old Census Output Area 95LL190007) is split between Counties Armagh and Down, but one can see on NISRA maps that well over 2/3 of the land and roughly the same fraction (if not more) of the population reside on the County Armagh side of the old county boundary - the rest ofMagheralin Electoral Ward is in County Down). Thus insofar as possible I have only included those statistical areas that lie within the County Boundaries in order to arrive at the figure of 174,792. I must stress that this is only an approximate figure as certain Small Areas have been included in the 174,792 figure which have small amounts of territory outside of the county, and some Small Areas which have portions of themselves within County Armagh have been excluded because most of the Small Area lies in another County. In all, these factors may well even each other out. Nonetheless, the actual figure could be out by a hundred or so. If anyone has any queries or suggestions please get in contact.
