Inishowen West (Irish: Inis Eoghain Thiar), also called West Inishowen or Innishowen West,[1][2] is a barony in County Donegal, Ireland.[3][4] 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 They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.[5]
