Which stretches farther south Ireland or Northern Ireland?

The proper term for what people call southern Ireland is the Republic of Ireland. The most southerly point of Ireland is Mizen Head, in Co. Cork which is in the Republic of Ireland. The most northerly point of Ireland is Malin Head, in Co. Donegal, which is also in the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland consists of 6 of Ireland's 32 counties, but neither the most northerly or southerly point of Ireland is in Northern Ireland. The most westerly point is also in the Republic of Ireland, in Co. Kerry, but the most easterly point is in Co. Down in Northern Ireland. See the map below, which shows all the counties of Ireland, with the 6 yellow ones being those in Northern Ireland.
