Irish Population by County

[Niall Quinn]

Thought this was an interesting graphic - each square represents approx 17K people apparently.
Kerry & Kilkenny don't do badly when you consider all the size of them.
Monaghan are incognito seemingly.

Poor wee monaghan

It looks like half of Meath are actually from Dublin

[armaghniac]

Monaghan are incognito seemingly.

They are just another brick in the wall.

I believe the worst hit counties were actually the north midlands. Cavan, Longford etc. Cavan had approx 250000 pre famine and now is somewhere around 60,000.

Mayo have annexed Sligo by the look of it, possibly in search of a decent back line.

They're as bad as the Brits. First Roscommon and now Sligo.

And the best bits of galway

[magickingdom]

http://www.irelandwide.com/

there are 125k in kerry but alot more looking to get in

[Aerlik]

There are more people in County Derry than there are in rural Western Australia (outside of the Perth metropolitan area) and it's the size of mainland western Europe.  And we have the longest beach in Ireland....never knew that.

Does the square with Leitrim equal 17K

Yeah, each square is supposed to represent 17K people, but as the population of Leitrim is some 29K, I can only conclude that creative rounding is inherent!
