Is the green part (of the picture) kerry or is the red part kerry?

  • The lime green part is Kerry; the pink is Northern Ireland, a separate country coloured differently to distinguish it from the Republic of Ireland. Tadhg 11:48, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] origen of Kerry

What is the origen of the word Kerry (or Ciarrai). Does it mean Kingdom as suggested in the article? - Kerry in New Mexico, USA

  • It's not entirely clear, certainly not enough for inclusion in the article. It was probably either named after Ciar, King of Ulster (Carruidhe or Cair Reeght: "Kingdom of Ciar") or - not so romantic - it's named after the Irish word for "rock" ("ciar" or "cer") and "a district on the water" ("uidhe" or "ui"). See Ancient Clans of County Kerry. --Tadhg 15:18, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Walsh as a Kerry surname??

The Irish for Walsh is Breathnach, which literally means Welsh ( as in the nationality), so I'm assuming it isn't a Kerry surname!! I'm removing it from the list, if I'm wrong please correct me! 195.213.112.110 13:21, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not historical people?

Why are Wolfe Tone and Roger Casement not listed under "Historical Figures"? Rachel Pearce 10:43, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV

I am not Irish, nor English. I feel the history section of this article has been composed in a very partisan manner and is anything but neutral. David Lauder 19:50, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] bias

Unreliable, almost offensive article. What a shame! Heard of revisionism? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.255.8.108 (talk) 08:47, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tralee Ship Canal

Should the Tralee Ship Canal no be given a mention in the 'transport' section ?
