Hi, There is a tiny part of Waterford that is north of the Suir, around the train station. It's about 2km long, but only a few hundred metres wide. Before the 19th century, this was part of Kilkenny and therefore in Leinster. Since the 19th century, it has been part of Waterford and therefore Leinster. The boundary is marked by the dark blue line here: http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,661014,613013,10,7 - note that this image seems to be a composite of two separate maps, each on a different projection, hence, some features are shown twice. If we want to claim that it is part of Leinster, if I'm correct then we would have to merge county Wicklow back into county Dublin as that was a concurrent change. :) Similar changes were made to county boundaries at Drogheda, Carlow town, New Ross, Athlone, Clonmel and possibly elsewhere.
