Can anyone put IPA pronunciation here ? Hal06 17:03, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I second the request. Unfortunately, I'm no good with IPA, but this page http://www.answers.com/topic/sligo-town indicates that it's pronounced with a long i. --Rkstafford 03:52, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
So, it is pronounced Sla-go, is it not? Arbiteroftruth 18:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

--The.Q | Talk 14:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC) I think there should be told something about the history of Sligo.

[edit] Derry

The.Q undid my recent addition of Derry to the list of towns and villages in Sligo. I'm not from the county myself so I don't know whether or not there is a place called Derry there, but I added it because if you go to Derry (disambiguation) you will find reference to it there. Can someone help? Is there or isn't there a place named Derry in County Sligo? I'd be interested to know.

Yes there is a townland named Derry. It is app. one mile north of Grange village.

The map on this website appears to suggest that the place does exist. 81.152.144.209 11:58, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
