Kerry, That is how everyone can benefit from an itemised reply. I know a lot of people get confused between Villages, Towns and Townlands. Growing up I was told that if there was a Cathedral in a town it would be "A Cathedral City" Armagh was such an unofficial City [without Royal Warrant] until Queen Elizabeth II bestowed the Royal Warrant on it not many years ago. Enniskillen has two Cathedrals but is still a Town. Towns/Villages are where houses are built together in rows to form streets with shops and dwellings alongside each other only divided by a wall. Townlands, the smallest division of land in Ireland, are divided by Rivers, Roads or Hedges.. Parishes are an Ecclesiastical collection of Townlands Diocese are a Collection of Parishes in a number of Counties, adminsistered by the Bishop from the See House of that Diocese. Ireland has four Provinces, Ulster Munster Leinster and Connaght. Ulster contains 9 counties:- Antrim, Armagh, Cavan, Donegal, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry, Tyrone and Monaghan Munster = Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerisk, Tipperary and Waterford. Leinster = Carlow, Dublin, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford, Louth, Meath, Offaly Westmeath Wexford and Wicklow. Connaght/Connacht = Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo.
