20% of the State ??

I know the reference wrote, South-West is 20% of the area of the state. But 12,161 sq kilometres is closer to 17% (Cork 10.6%, Kerry 6.7%) --Jacobfrid (talk) 00:07, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It might be wrong but thats what the source states - you'd think a government department would get it right lol :-) Unfortunately adding the numbers up ourselves constitutes original research. Mabuska ^(talk) 11:07, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, an approximation to 20% is grand, if the government writes it who cares to argue? --Jacobfrid (talk) 20:53, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
