Inishowen East (Irish: Inis Eoghain Thoir),[1] also called East Inishowen or Innishowen East,[2][3] is a barony in County Donegal, Ireland.[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 They acquired modest local taxation and spending functions in the 19th century before being superseded by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.[5][6]
