Connaught is a large western part of the Republic of Ireland — one of the four old provinces, together with Leinster, Munster, and Ulster. It takes in five counties: Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon, and Leitrim. People still use these province names for sport, history, and a sense of place, even though everyday government work is organised by county, not by province.
