Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 5c5,9
I'm thinking this should be filed under "Co. Fermanagh" or "County Fermanagh", or even "Co. Fermanagh, Ireland", given that there are American counties with the same names as the Irish ones. (E.g., Donegal in Pennsylvania.) --LMS

Hmm... Given that there is a common US usage of the form "Hicksville Alabama" or "Paris Texas", and that such usage is virtually unknown in the UK and Ireland (ie. the place is just called London or Fermanagh or whatever), and given that County Fermanagh in Ireland can reasonably make the prior claim, I reckon we should keep it as it is - with a link to "Other Fermanaghs" should it prove necessary. --Paul
