administrative territorial entity of Ireland
Let an agent explain the administrative territorial entities of the Republic of Ireland, relay the levels of local government from reference sources with current structure checked, describe the levels its aliases name, and distinguish the category from a single named unit and from Northern Ireland s system.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
