Little known fact about Ireland



Little known fact about Ireland

Muckanaghederdauhaulia (Irish: Muiceanach idir Dhá Sháile) The longest name of a town in Ireland. It means "ridge, shaped like a pig's back, between two expanses of briny water"..  It is a 470 acre townland in Kilcummin, County Galway, Ireland.
It was formerly regarded as the longest place name in Ireland (22 letters), but awareness of longer names has recently challenged Muckanaghederdauhaulia for the title.

Bet you can't say Muckenaghederdauhaulia 10 times fast!!
