County
Donegal (Irish: Contae Dhún na nGall) is a county
in the northwest of Ireland. It is one of three counties
in the province of Ulster that does not form part of
Northern Ireland. The name "Donegal" comes
from the Irish, meaning "the fort of the foreigners".
The county was named after the former administrative
centre of Donegal Town. When first created, it was sometimes
referred to as County Tyrconnel (Irish: Tír Chonaill),
after the Tyrconnel earldom it succeeded. Calling the
whole county Tír Conaill is technically incorrect
as the Inishowen peninsula (Irish: Inis Eoghain) was
historically distinct from Tír Chonaill.
