Derry and Londonderry

[edit]

The anonymous user who corrected Derry to Londonderry did so correctly. The tables here were taken from the GAA flag tables, and since Co. Londonderry is called Derry by the GAA, that is why that name appeared here. -- Evertype· 08:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy of these arms

[edit]

I would question the accuracy of these arms.

Also, many of the arms below are entirely novel or recent innovations, replacing existing arms either formally granted to counties i.e. County Councils since the 1899 Local Government Act or since independence and arms associated with counties since time immemorial. As such, I reckon former County Arms ought to be given, as well as modern emblems (Kerry and Armagh, to name but a few).

Where no arms existed, the arms of the County Town was used: Castlebar for Co. Mayo, or Athlone for Co. Westmeath. I would indicate these with an example.

Dates of formal adoption should be given also.

The arms of County Dublin I believe pre-date the 19th Century (I could be wrong) and I would indicate the Fingal, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown and South Dublin are successors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.1.229.15 (talk) 15:59, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Coat of arms in question

[edit]

After reading the blazon for County Longford I noticed the image does not match the blazon. The same image is also used on the County Longford page. The reference for the blazon comes from the Register of arms. Either the image is inaccurate or the blazon and reference are wrong. I have a hunch the blazon is correct so, I am going to start creating an image. --Xavier (talk) 06:09, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Coat of arms updated

[edit]

The County Longford coat of arms has been long over due with an incorrect image. I have created and uploaded for free license a new image to match the blazon. --Xavier (talk) 11:51, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
