We have been unable to find much information on regional kilt trends in Ireland. The kilt itself is not nearly as important in Ireland as in Scotland. Some reports suggest that kilts appear to have been worn by boys on the on the Aran Islands into the 1930s. The Aran Islands are a group of three small islands located in Galway Bay along the western coast of Ireland. They apper, however to have been the flannel dresses boys wore in the more traditional areas of Ireland until after World War I.
