Ok so because cromwell and the english spelt it that way its basphemis and if you spell it that way today your not a proper Irish man, so Irish people spell it Connacht and then your proper irish man. This is very important topic in the grand scheme of things and the meaning of life.
And if you don't spell it right it will be pointed out to you because it annoys people because its very important. 8)

If you are typing this in English then Connaught is the correct spelling.
how if you operate through the Irish Language then the Spelling will Vary according to usage.
on the 3rd hand  if you speak a mixture of Both ther either Or is correct.
in oher word it desn't matter as long as people know what you are Talking about.

even Shakespeare's 6 remaing  signatures are all spelt differently

Connacht. Croi chulturtha na h-Eireann. And the finest provincial flag.
The Connaught is in London innit.

If I am typing in English then your name is Secret Forest or Honey's Point or something like that.

There are 5 counties in Connacht, Roscommon is they only county with borders to all other four counties,
John Prenty will tell you New york and London is in Connacht,
Ballaghaderreen is in Connacht but no one seems to know what county its in.
John Prenty will tell you Ballaghaderren is in Mayo but he thinks New york and London is in Connacht.
Thats all I know about Connacht.

Syf said the population of Ros was 72k in the 40s. What is it now? 50 k?
Did Mayo also have a fall off in population over the period?
