TIPPERARY

County Tipperary is one of the traditional Counties of Ireland. It is located in the province of Munster. Tipperary is the sixth largest of Ireland’s 32 counties. Tipperary was one of the first Irish counties to be established in the 13th century. For all government administration purposes the county is divided into North Tipperary (county town: Nenagh) and South Tipperary (county town: Clonmel).

This division dates back to the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, the county's two "ridings" having had separate assize courts for much longer. The use of riding for the divisions was a historical misnomer, since the word derives from the dividing of an area into three parts.
