Raphoe North
Raphoe North (/ræˈfoʊ/; Irish: Ráth Bhoth Thuaidh), or North Raphoe, is a barony in County Donegal, Ireland. Baronies were mainly cadastral rather than administrative units. They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.
