From Gina:<\/p>\n

  1. \n

    Donegal<\/a> is the most northernly county in Ireland true, but we ARE NOT part of Northern Ireland<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n

    At school, we did Junior and Leaving Cert’s…NOT 11 plus’, GCSE or A-levels!<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n

    We DO NOT use sterling as our official currency.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n

    Our nightclubs DO stay open past 1:30am unlike the north.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n

  11. \n

    There is nothing wrong in being from a county where accents vary dramatically from Ballyshannon to Letterkenny to Buncrana to Gweedore to Glenswilly.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  12. \n

    Dunfanaghy is pronounced “Dun fan a hee”, NOT “Dun fonn a gee!”<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n

    Nor is Mickey Joe Harte<\/a> of Lifford<\/a> when it came to the Eurovision<\/a> in 2003.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  19. \n

    Yes we do have a townland in the north of the county called Muff<\/a> and then Killybegs<\/a> actually smells like one!<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  20. \n
