Correct. As stated above, Polly Wittering disigned the Irish County Tartans (and the Irish National tartan) in 1995 and have them produced by the House of Edgar. In 2004, Viking Technology (AKA Gaelic Themes, who are very nice people and a sponsor up here BTW) designed the County Crest tartans (as well as the Ireland's National, Irish American and Wild Geese tartan) and have them produced by Marton Mills.

None of these tartans are officially 'adopted' (or are even being considered) by any of the counties or by any governing body in Ireland to the best of my knowledge. If Matt or any other scholar has any proof otherwise, I bow to their expertise as they know much more than me.
