Notes:

Malin to Mizen

Often the term "" is used when encompassing the entire country/island from north to south (cf. Land's End to John o'Groats in Great Britain). Mizen Head, in West Cork, is popularly described as the "most south-western point in Ireland". The promontory hosts a lighthouse and radio/weather station, now a tourist attraction.
