16 Nov The Four Provinces Of Ireland
If you are on any tours of Ireland you may pass through some, or all, of the provinces.
As a quick guide note that there are four provinces as follows.
“Ulster” is the Northern province and is part of the United Kingdom using Sterling as a currency.
There are six counties – Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone, Antrim, and Londonderry.
However, counties Cavan, Donegal, and Monaghan, while considered to be part of Ulster, are actually in the Republic of Ireland.
The currency in these counties is Euros.
