Which stretches farther south Ireland or Northern Ireland?
The proper term for what people call southern Ireland is the
Republic of Ireland. The most southerly point of Ireland is Mizen
Head, in Co. Cork which is in the Republic of Ireland. The most
northerly point of Ireland is Malin Head, in Co. Donegal, which is
also in the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland consists of 6 of
Ireland's 32 counties, but neither the most northerly or southerly
point of Ireland is in Northern Ireland. The most westerly point is
also in the Republic of Ireland, in Co. Kerry, but the most
easterly point is in Co. Down in Northern Ireland. See the map
below, which shows all the counties of Ireland, with the 6 yellow
ones being those in Northern Ireland.
