| Frequently asked questions: |
In the period from 1568 - 1578 the Lord Deputy, Sir Henry Sydney, subdivided the existing shire of Connacht into the counties of Clare, Galway, Mayo and Sligo. Clare, which in a physical sense, belongs more to Connacht than to Munster, was carved out of the mediaeval territory of the O'Brien's of Thomond. It was returned to Munster in 1639.
