There is Downshire in Ulster, and a Marquis of Downshire.

I know there's a Yorkshire, a Lincolnshire, and other shires in England. There were even some in Tolkien's imagination. But in Ireland there were never Armaghshire, Derryshire, or Fermanageshire.

I don't know of any Shires in the Republic of Ireland or
Northern Ireland, the Downshire is the name of a racecourse
or some sports venue in County Down, Northern Ireland.
there are 32 counties on the island of Ireland, 26 in the
Republic of Ireland and 6 in Northern Ireland (UK)
