[QUOTE="big ginger 8, post: 515275, member: 53057"] What do you mean exactly? The provinces are historical. They're used to be another one Meath but the counties from there are now part of Leinster. Before the Normans came while you'd have loads of local Chieftans they followed the king of their province and they in turn occasionally a High King. In Hurling and Gaelic football they basically make up the qualifying pools for the All-Ireland and have been representative teams in rugby since the start. Leinster is the largest province with 12 counties, Ulster has 9, Munster 6 and Connacht 5. Note the counties were created by the English. [/QUOTE]
