"Donegal – Tír Chonaill - drifts in like a mist, a spirit” says Vincent Woods.

“You cross some invisible border and you’re in: voices flinting high and clear on the road; Errigal shining long before it’s visible, the surge of the ocean resounding, the pull of strand and dune strong to the feet, music and song echoing in a house that will never falter." 

The County Measureis a landmark RTÉ Radio 1 series that explores the identity and communities of Ireland's 32 counties.
