Killeter - contemporary report

The account on the UK/Ireland meteorite page was published in 1861 so here's a newspaper article from 17 days after the fall -

The Natural History Museum's 85g (90268) fragment is beautifully presented on the Open University's Virtual Microscope web site.

I don't want to stir up any trouble, but is Killeter in The Republic of Ireland,or Northern Ireland? I think Northern Ireland.

Upon reflection, I see my question just shows how short my memory is.... Brasky provided the answer in 2013.
