Can anybody help please. This is not a crossword but a fireside quiz Answers are names of towns and villages in Northern Ireland. Googled a list of these but still can't get last two. Must be misunderstanding the clues.

I am wondering if the Irish astronomer one is Galway Bay I am thinking of the song about watching the sun go down on Galway Bay. If you look up the lyrics to Galway Bay it makes sense

You could try Googling "list of places Northern Ireland" which will take you to the Wikepedia site. It has a huge list of place names ranging from villages to cities. Something might leap out of the page at you. Had hoped to find something beginning with Dun.. like Dunlivin but no luck - will look again later when I've done the dishes !
