Dairy farmers per county

Dairy farming is practiced throughout all counties of Ireland, although Munster and eastern counties have the greatest number of cows. Cork had over 4,200 dairy herds, while Tipperary, Kerry and Limerick are also significant. A noted dairy production region touching all four counties is the "Golden Vale", a stretch of top quality land across Limerick, Tipperary and Cork and including the hinterlands of the towns of Charleville, Michelstown, Kilmallock and Tipperary.

National Archives of Ireland

The National Archives, established under the National Archives Act, 1986, is an amalgamation of the Public Record Office of Ireland (founded 1867) and the State Paper Office (founded 1702). It preserves records which warrant preservation as archives, mostly those of central government and the courts. Also held are census returns, land valuation records of the 19th century, wills and related papers, records of national schools from 1832 onwards, Anglican parish registers, estate collections plus other records essential for family or local history research. The National Archives facilitates access to these records by members of the public.
