cheers guys, just Louth and Wicklow to get.

Wikipedia has them as 'Aughrim Park' and 'Drogheda Park' respectively for Wicklow and Louth, but I think that's wrong, and Leitrim's should be as gaelige rather than my English version (Pairc Sean McDiarmiada)

Donegal      - McCool Park


Its MacCumhaill Park. I've never heard the English version used, especially as the local club is Sean MacCumhaills.

i heard it called that the other day but i knew it was actually meant to be in irish, just didn't know the spelling!
