I've reverted the last edit by Widsith
- The part of Ireland (or, occasionally, of other countries) where Gaelic (i.e. Irish) is the predominant vernacular language.
for the following reasons.
- The areas are officially recognised by the government, and have been for almost 100 years.
- The term may have once meant places in other countries, but certainly doesn't now.
- The usage notes about the plural should be left, to indicate that the officially incorrect form is commonly used.
- The quote given does not indicate the commonly understood meaning of the word.
Not sure if a second definition could be made, but the meaning you've given it is too uncommon to be the only def. --Dmol (talk) 08:00, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
