Munster, Historical province in southwest Ireland
The southwestern province of Ireland encompasses 24,674 square kilometers of land, including six counties: Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary, and Waterford.
The region was controlled by the Eoghanachta dynasty from 400 CE, who established their capital in Cashel and formed settlements across Cork and Kerry.
The province maintains strong Irish language communities in Gaeltacht regions, where approximately 35,000 residents actively speak the traditional language.
Modern transportation networks connect the main urban centers of Cork, Limerick, and Waterford, facilitating movement throughout the southwestern region.
The Sliabh Luachra Mountains naturally divide the province into two distinct regions: Desmond in the south and Thomond in the north.
