Quiz: Can you identify these Irish towns with shared placenames?

For the eagle-eyed amongst you.

This article is part of The Good Information Project, a new initiative from The Journal to help create greater understanding of big issues we face. This month we are focussing on the question ‘What could a shared island look like?’.

AS PART OF our project, we’ve taken a look at what shares and separates different parts of Ireland. As if to accentuate the shared heritage, some places even have the same name.

So can you recognise which one is which?
