South-West Region, Ireland, Statistical region in South-West Ireland
The South-West Region covers 12,120 square kilometers of Ireland, including Cork City, County Cork, and County Kerry, representing 16 percent of the country's territory.
The region operated under the South-West Regional Authority from 1994 until 2014, when administrative reforms transferred control to the Southern Regional Assembly.
Multiple Gaeltacht regions maintain Irish language traditions, including areas in Dingle, Cape Clear Island, and Muskerry, where Munster Irish remains a daily communication method.
Cork International Airport and Kerry International Airport connect the region with international destinations, while ferries link local ports to the United Kingdom and France.
The area contains both Ireland's southernmost point at Fastnet Rock and its westernmost location at Dunmore Head, with MacGillycuddy's Reeks forming its highest mountains.
