About
Leinster:
Leinster (Irish: Laighin or Laigin), one
of the Provinces of Ireland, lies in the east of Ireland
and comprises the counties of Carlow,
Dublin, Kildare, Kilkenny,
Laois, Longford, Louth, Meath,
Offaly, Westmeath, Wexford
and Wicklow. Leinster has the largest population of
the four provinces of Ireland. The traditional flag
of Leinster features a golden harp on a green background.
The largest city in Leinster is Dublin,
the capital of Ireland. In ancient times Leinster
was occupied by five major Fir-Bolg tribes, of which
the tribe of Laigin rose to dominance and gave Leinster
its name.
