Next bit to do is write about the administrative breakdown for local government - NI counties having no official status; splitting of Tipperary, abolition of County Dublin, creation of Fingal, Dun Laogaire-Rathdown, South Dublin; city status equivalent to county council status; and add a table with the resulting 34 administrative areas of the RoI.

I never tryly paid any attention to the splitting up of Dublin. Does it now in reality mean that we are a 34 county island, and that the Republican martyrs who died for the 'cause' died for an entirely different number?

Wikitables are indeed a pain. Still much better than drawing them in Word and importing the HTML to CZ, though, which can be a nightmare!. I'll have a go tomorrow when I've more time, but what I was intending was a list of counties in a column, with former names (if any), county town, province and possibly traditional colours.
