Derry/Londonderry edit by Ben W Bell

Comment on Ben W Bell's last edit says "rv, name of county is County Londonderry. See WP:IMOS. No offical county named County Derry." Last time I checked, there was no 'official' county called Londonderry, nor is there any such thing as a 'county' in Northern Ireland if we want to be really pedantic. --Eamonnca1 (talk) 23:02, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Highest proportion of Irish speakers...

“

According to the 2001 census, 167,487 people (10.4% of the population) had "some knowledge of Irish" with the highest concentrations of Irish speakers found in Belfast, Derry, Newry/South Armagh, Central Tyrone (between Dungannon and Omagh), and southern County Londonderry (near Maghera).

”

I can testify that Maghera does not have a high concentration of Gaelic speakers. Is there sources for this? It has a Gaelic-nursery/primary school but it struggles to fill its classrooms. Mabuska ^(talk) 13:33, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Map

If 10.4% of the total population of NI knows Irish, then the map we have at the top of the article doesn't seem very accurate. It suggests that there are broad swathes of the country where a third or more speak Irish - and even an area where 95% speak it! That last one especially seems dubious. 108.254.160.23 (talk) 21:54, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
