I know this is two years to late. However I would like to post my absolute dismay at the regular occurance of British peerages using their extinct Irish Titles, which were effectively abolished by the Irish Republic in 1948/9, if not earlier in 1921/2 after the Anglo-Irish War.
I find it hard to believe that you people who have absolutely nothing to do with my country still believe you have the right to float around that you have Irish titles, when in actual fact you have not.
There are no titles in Ireland that are recognised by Ireland or it's people. So you could do same and no longer recognise them as you do not have any right to use the names of counties, barony's etc that belong to a sovereign state. Which no longer wants or has no place for your colonial past.
Give the names back to the Irish and stop pretending to the world or worse still yourselves, that people in Ireland actually respect you, because WE DONT.
