The Irish word order of "County (so-and-so)" is likely a slight abbreviation of the common British form "County of (so-and-so)." In england, only "County Durham" is commonly called as such, without the "of."

Leinster: East part of the island including counties Carlow, Dublin, Wexford, Wicklow, Louth, Kildare, Meath, Westmeath, Kilkenny, Laois, Offaly, Longford.
