County Donegal (County Donegal)
The population was 166,321 at the 2022 census.
County Donegal is named after the town of Donegal in the south of the county.
It has also been known by the alternative name County Tyrconnell, Tirconnell or Tirconaill (Tír Chonaill, meaning 'Land of Conall'). The latter was its official name between 1922 and 1927. This is in reference to the túath or Gaelic kingdom of Tír Chonaill (which the county was based on) and the earldom that succeeded it.
