In Leitrim, the right end of the county matters more than the county line.
Leitrim, Connacht
North and south Leitrim are different mornings
Leitrim looks compact in a county list and completely different from the road. Carrick-on-Shannon and the N4 sit in the south, Manorhamilton and the N16 in the north, with the R280 connecting much of the county. For school cover, the strongest match is often somebody already based in the right part of Leitrim.

Manorhamilton and north Leitrim
Manorhamilton is the main town in north Leitrim, with Dromahair and Drumkeeran nearby.
The northern edge
