Why go
- Traditional province in the south of Ireland.
- Served by Münster Osnabrück International Airport (FMO).
History
Munster is the largest of the four provinces of Ireland, located in the south west of the island, entirely within the Republic of Ireland. In early Ireland, the Kingdom of Munster was one of the kingdoms of Gaelic Ireland ruled by a "king of over-kings". Following the Norman invasion of Ireland, the ancient kingdoms were shired into counties for administrative and judicial purposes. In later centuries, local government legislation has seen further sub-division of the historic counties.
