CSO map gave away large part of Donegal to the North

A large chunk of the Republic of Ireland appeared to have been gifted to the North due to a geographical blunder on the official Census 2016 website.

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) has apologised after the Inishowen Peninsula in Co Donegal was cut off the map and apparently annexed by the Six Counties.

Inishowen is Ireland’s most northerly peninsula.
