I have re-inserted the reference to the Clare County Library Website/Parliamentary Gazeteer interpretation of the origins of the name "Corcomroe". 194.125.54.224, if you can provide a more credible alternative, please do.

Also, I am not convinced that your assertion regarding the grammatical correctness of the name is accurate - as far as I am aware, Boirinn refers to the village, An Boireann refers to the area, and each is grammatically correct (just as Erinn/Eireann are) in context.

[edit] Corcomroe

I'm thinking that the bulk of the second paragraph would be more appropriate in an article on Corcomroe, rather than under "The Burren". If nobody has any objections, I will begin an article on Corcomroe, and move the text there, in a few days. Gabhala 13:21, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the history of the broader region is more suited to its own article than this one. I just had a try at cleaning up this article; I'm not particularly informed about the naming issues and all that, so if I've screwed something up, please fix it.

Also, seeing as the gallery's been removed, the orphaned images will need to be tagged for deletion. Just a warning in advance. -- Shoejar^talk/edits 03:06, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Tagging those orphaned images now. -- Shoejar^talk/edits 05:31, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
